2017 Programming Schedule

• 1. Leadership + Strategy – While the growing number of shocks and

stresses around the world has focused attention on the need to build resilience, there remains a deficiency in preparedness, capacity and expertise across sectors to address crises before they emerge and respond once they do.

• 2. Technology + Innovation – In a world with an app for everything,

understanding how technology and innovation can be used to build resilience in communities to prepare for and respond to shocks and stresses is essential.

• 3. Economy & Risk – The financial impact of disasters can bring

communities to a standstill, making response slow and inefficient all while prolonging the impact on the local economy.

• 4. Community + Social Cohesion – From shocks – like hurricanes to

terrorism – to stresses – like violence or food shortages – there are a host of factors which can have an effect on a community.
