WCDM World Conference on Disaster Management

30+ Media Outlets attended WCDM last year & 100+ Outlets covered it

We anticipate strong media interest this year and again in 2009 because of:

• the timeliness of WCDM presentation topics
• the international expertise of our presenters
• the array of products and services in the WCDM exhibit hall

To make your reporting of WCDM as easy as possible, we can co-ordinate interviews for you, and advise you of newsworthy stories, angles, and photo opportunities throughout the event. We’ll also keep you posted as to last minute changes, news bulletins, and speaker availabilities.
