The conference will have two main strands. One is for teachers and researchers who wish to present their research findings in these fields. A major theme of the conference is to connect the Global Issues and the Intercultural Communication communities to review the current status in these fields, and to explore future possibilities in growth and awareness. The conference also will host a student showcase allowing both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their work, whether it be a thesis or some research they have been working, or some kind of fieldwork or service work project related to the conference theme. They can present this as a formal talk, or as a poster, photo gallery, art display or a documentary movie.
