The Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness (CCEP) is calling for presentations for the 17th World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM). The Conference will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, Canada from July 8-11, 2007.
WCDM is the premier annual event that addresses issues common to all aspects of disaster management. CCEP is presenting the conference in partnership with the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), DRI International and DRI Canada. The conference program includes speakers from many parts of the world and provides excellent opportunities for training and networking. Over 1,700 professionals are expected to attend.
The Conference theme will be:
“Emergency Management and Business Continuity Working Together"
A major goal of the 17th 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 on-line by December 3, 2006.
All submissions must be made on-line through the conference web site at www.wcdm.org. We will not accept abstracts submitted by e-mail.
