IAMCR hosts conferences, offers prizes for outstanding papers, has a Task Force on Media and Communication Policy, manages publications series, and offers discounts on some of the best journals in the field.

In the past years conferences have been held in Prague, Paris, Caracas, Cairo, Barcelona, New Delhi, Bled, Guaruja, Porto Alegre, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Stockholm. These events attract hundreds of researchers from dozens of countries (the latest congress in 2008 in Stockholm was attended by more than 950 people from 82 countries). A smaller conference is organised in intervening years. The next one will be held in Mexico 21-24 July 2009. IAMCR publishes a comprehensive newsletter two times a year with up-to-date information on its different activities, a membership directory and access to both public and member-only email lists.
