Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Multimodality, ICOM, is a bi-annual
event in the context of multimodality research, i.e. the study of how
diverse expressive forms, or semiotic modes, work together in the
meaning-making processes of our daily personal as well as professional
communication. Multimodality research is primarily situated in the
broad field of the humanities, often strongly affiliated with
linguistics and communication studies and with connection points to
information studies and artificial intelligence, psychology,
sociology, and other disciplines. It is also currently seen as a stage
of development that many fields and disciplines currently undergo,
developing an interest in multimodal phenomena.

The aim of the bi-annual conference is to provide space, time, and
opportunities for scholars from these different fields and disciplines
to exchange newest research results and interests, foster networking
and collaboration, and build foundations for inter- and
transdisciplinary triangulation.

With the first events in the 2000s, a successful series of conferences
started, initially strengthening multimodality as a new research
endeavor in communication studies and linguistics, subsequently
broadening the interest and exploring the full range of different ways
in which multimodality had been taken up in its early phases. In the
2010s, the main aim was mainly to solidify multimodality further and
to establish specific research lines and sub-disciplines. In the
2020s, multimodality is seen as a broad, interdisciplinary research
context for which the conference provides regular exchange and
networking for a vast diversity of scholars. Participants usually come
from a broad number of countries including USA, Brasil, Argentina,
Western, Southern and Northern Europe, Australia, South Africa, China.
The conference is open for researchers on all levels and ECRs are
usually particularly supported. For the 2023 edition in London, the
Visual Communication Journal provided an Early Career Sponsorship, for
example.

The 2025 conference under the label “The Multimodal Multiverse” will
offer a new space and opportunities to bring together the many,
potentially diverse fields of multimodality research to further
identify and strengthen connections, triangulation and future
necessities.
