<\/p>\n
The theme for this year\u2019s NAMLE Conference is \u201cA Path Forward: Elevating Conversation, Unifying Voices.\u201d According to their website, their \u201cmission for the 2019 NAMLE Conference is to provide a platform for including voices from diverse disciplines as we explore the future of media literacy in a rapidly shifting media landscape. In these unprecedented times, we must work together as a community to move forward the field of media literacy. In order to achieve this goal, we have planned a conference with innovative session format and built-in networking opportunities to facilitate the sharing and discussion of new ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n
