GISF 2022 Spring Forum – Linktree
Dear Participants,
The GISF 2022 Spring Forum will be taking place on Wednesday 16th March – Thursday 17th March.
This forum will be a hybrid event, with in person locations in Brussels and Washington D.C.
Brussels Location: Transforma BXL, Avenue Jules Bordet 13, 1140 Brussels.
Washington D.C Location: Ronald Reagan Building, Pennsylvania Ave., NW Suite 700 Washington, DC 20004
The GISF Spring Forum is designed to provide an opportunity for GISF Members to learn from one another and engage in deeper discussion and learnings on critical topics related to humanitarian security risk management.
Whilst we have already announced that the main theme of this forum Emerging Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities for Security Risk Management, we’re pleased to let you know about some of the specific sessions. Alongside our standing member-only Case Study and Context sessions, we will also examine innovation in humanitarian action and its implications for security risk management, look at various platforms and tools to support contextual information and analysis, explore the use of immersive crisis management simulators, and for those attending in person, we will have a hands-on demonstration of VR & 360-degree video security trainings.
For any questions, please contact Megan at gisf-info@gisf.ngo, or Tara at gisf-americas@gisf.ngo.
By attending the Spring Forum, you agree to adhere to the ‘GISF Information Sharing Policy and Protocol’.
