20th World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM): Call for Papers
The Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness (CCEP) is calling for presentations for the 20th World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM).
The theme of the 20th WCDM is: 20 Years of Progress – Are We Prepared to Face Future Challenges? Emergency Management and Business Continuity Working Together.
The Conference will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, Canada from June 20-23, 2010.
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 training and networking for those in Emergency Planning/Management, Business Continuity, Risk Management, Security, Disaster Recovery, Emergency Response, Disaster Management Research, Emergency Communications, Emergency Health, as well as for the organizations which supply and service these professions.
With the continuing economic downturn and drop off of attendance at many of the major conferences, it is even more imperative that the 20th WCDM offer a quality 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 from around the world
Presentation abstracts must be submitted on-line by December 6, 2009.
If you have some knowledge to share and would like to submit an abstract, or know of someone who might be interested in presenting, please visit http://www.wcdm.org/Toronto/call-for-papers.html to access the Call for Papers and to see a more detailed description of the program outline.
