The Promoting Research in Social Media and Health Symposium (PRISM) is one of the few symposiums dedicated to social media and health research. An all-day event featuring a poster session, rapid-fire presentations, and panels, PRISM fosters a collaborative learning environment that provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for participants to meet, collaborate, and advance their work. Now in its 11th year, PRISM has hosted academic researchers, industry partners, patients, and advocates from over 40 unique institutions.
