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/emergency management. The conference program includes speakers from many parts of the world and provides excellent opportunities for training and networking among those in Emergency Planning/Management, Business Continuity, Emergency Response, Disaster Management Research, Emergency Communications, Emergency Health, Risk Management, Security, IT, HR, Environmental, Community Planning, as well as for the organizations which supply and service these professions. The 2007 Conference is expected to attract over 1,700 attendees from Canada, the United States, and from around the world.
