You'll be asked to make your selection before completing registration. Track 1 - Adapting Business During a Crisis During this track, industry leaders will address how they continued to operate their organizations and businesses in the midst of the pandemic, while keeping their employees safe, informed and aware of the changing landscape that COVID-19 created. There are two sessions, Changing Business Model and Workforce Adaptation. Attendees who choose this track will hear about the steps business leaders took to acclimate their business model and what they learned to apply to their operations for future disasters. Track 2 - Tactical Crisis Management COVID-19 has and continues to apply an enormous amount of pressure to our health services like we have never seen before.

Attendees will also hear from first responders on their takeaways from the pandemic. There are two sessions, Operations and First Responder Advice for Citizens.
