The Steiner Sports Communication Research Conference is a new, student-focused academic gathering dedicated to traditional and creative scholarship in sports communication.
For this inaugural year, the conference is free to attend and will feature student projects exclusively, creating a dynamic, supportive space for emerging voices in the field. Whether your research explores media representation, technology’s influence on sport, or the cultural narratives shaping athletics today, this conference is designed to spotlight your work and spark meaningful conversation.
The conference will take place online on 6 November 2026 (12-4pm, CST) and will consist of moderated panel sessions about prerecorded presentations. To access the prerecorded presentations, register (free) for the conference.
