RCA 2024 Annual Conference

The Religious Communication Association will hold its Annual Conference in conjunction with the 2024 National Communication Association Convention, November 21-24, 2024, in New Orleans, Louisiana.


RCA opens its portion of the New Orleans meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, one day before the NCA meeting officially begins on Thursday, with its annual First-Day Conference.

RCA is a 501(c)(3) organization independent from NCA. As an affiliate organization, RCA proudly showcases religious communication scholarship during the NCA meeting and its separate First-Day Conference before the NCA convention begins.


Submissions of individual papers and panel proposals have closed and will be considered simultaneously for NCA panels and inclusion in RCA Conference’s programming on November 20, 2024. Submission to the NCA review process for programming indicates your agreement to attend the preceding RCA Conference should your paper be programmed there.

The standards for acceptance for NCA and RCA are equally stringent. NCA allows multiple program sessions to RCA. This relationship and arrangement allow RCA to strengthen scholarly inquiry and foster meaningful dialogue among colleagues with increased presentation opportunities.


Acceptance notices are forthcoming.

Check back later in this space for information on RCA First-Day Conference registration and venue. Registration for the NCA convention does not cover the RCA First-Day Conference, which will require a separate registration and conference fee. 


Questions about the RCA Annual Conference and First-Day Conference may be directed the the 2024 RCA Program Planner, Annette Madlock, at annettemadlock@gmail.com.
