2017 Programming Schedule Information Tracks 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. 5
