Emergency Management and Business Continuity Working Together
19 October 2007 — The Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness (CCEP) is calling for presentations for the 18th World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM). The Conference will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, Canada from June 15-18, 2008.
WCDM is the premier annual event that addresses issues common to all aspects of disaster management. The conference program includes speakers from many parts of the world and provides excellent opportunities for learning and networking among those in the fields of Emergency Planning/Management, Business Continuity, Emergency Response, Risk Management, IT Disaster Recovery, Disaster Management Research, Emergency Communications, Emergency Health, Security, HR, Environmental, Community Planning, as well as for the organizations which supply and service these professions. The 2008 Conference is expected to attract over 1,800 attendees from Canada, the United States, and from around the globe.
The Conference theme will be:
Resiliency – Individual, Community, Business
A major goal of the 18th WCDM is to offer a program that challenges delegates by examining traditional concepts and methods, and provides:
- new ideas and approaches to problem solving
- both leading edge and topical presentations
- opportunities to connect with key individuals and organizations across the disaster management spectrum
