Dear Colleagues, The International Disaster and Risk Conference, IDRC Davos 2008 will be held in Davos, Switzerland from August 25th to August 29th, 2008.
After the successful launching of the IDRC- idea with the first global conference IDRC Davos 2006, held in Davos, Switzerland in late August 2006 and with the first region conference hold in Harbin, China, the IDRC Harbin 2007 conference with the clear focus on China and South East Asia in late August 2007, IDRC Davos 2008 is back again in Davos, Switzerland, with its beautiful mountain surrounds, well known as host of the World Economic Forum WEF and place for visionary thinking and strategic discussions. IDRC Davos 2008 will take place from August 25th to August 29th, 2008 and will address global problems and attract participants from all over the globe. More than 1300 participants from 130 countries are expected. The conference will take an integrated, multidisciplinary approach when addressing the different kinds of risks affecting society today, risks which might be far beyond any particular stakeholder’s capacity to control and that may adversely affect multiple parties across geographic borders, sectors and industries. The IDRC organising committee anticipates a very successful and worthwhile conference and invites you to join this global gathering of leading experts from fields such as the natural, engineering and social sciences, government, the private sector, civil society, international organizations, NGOs and other risk management professions.
