Disasters and emergencies are based around quick, efficient responsive action. But, how can we prepare for the unexpected?
This year, we want to highlight the importance of planning and preparation.
From leadership tips through to creating crisis communication plans, we want you to join the discussion on how we can progress to stay ahead, prepared, and remain ready to take action during unforeseen circumstances.
Submissions are to showcase projects, programs, experiences or research, along with three key learning outcomes.
Workshops will require an interactive format to facilitate active learning, such as discussion, activities, small group role plays. The format should focus on offering participants an interactive information session.
Poster presentations are visual displays of material to be presented and constitute an interactive and communicative medium, usually combining text and graphic information.
Table tops act as a pathway for networking and sharing of information directly with delegates in an interactive setting. Table tops involve multiple presenters, with each presenter at a round table of up-to 9 participants. Presenters change tables every 12 minutes to present to a new round of participants.
Panel presentations bring together views from a group of presenters into a discussion of innovative ideas, current topics, and relevant issues. Panel submissions are required to organise each panel member and their perspective in advance. There is a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 individual presenters required for a panel. One person is also chosen to be the representative of the panel submission.
