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.
The theme of the 18th WCDM is: "Resiliency - Individual, Community and Business"
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. The 2008 Conference is expected to attract over 1,800 attendees from Canada, the US and from around the world.
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
Presentation abstracts must be submitted by December 2, 2007.
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 our web site at
