WCDM World Conference on Disaster Management

Planning for a pandemic is crucial. A proper, well-managed pandemic preparedness plan allows businesses to prepare for what is likely to occur before, during, and after a pandemic outbreak.

Co-sponsored by Roche Canada and Marsh Canada, the national APEX Award for Pandemic Planning Excellence recognizes private-sector Canadian businesses for the creation, development, and execution of a comprehensive and well-defined pandemic preparedness program.

On Monday, June 7th at 1:00 pm, join us on the exhibit floor as we honour the winners of the 2009 award. Visit us at the Roche booth #407 for details on how to apply for the 2010 award.

Products that are easy to use, safe and environmentally friendly are being designed into every new C-COM product. National and International standards like FCC, CE, and RoHS are part of quality objectives to our design teams.

Due to its high demand and popularity, this compact, portable, fully motorized, tripod-based antenna will be showcased at our booth #313. The iNetVu® 1.2m auto pointing flyaway antenna system comes complete with the iNetVu® 7000 controller. The auto-pointing 7000 controller technology allows one-touch operation to deploy the antenna in less than 2 minutes. Ideal for remote locations and disaster applications, this highly-portable, robust system operates in Ku band.

In keeping with the C-COM's mission statement, we designed a cutting edge solution using the latest and ‘best in class' technology to produce a system that combines ease of operation and low maintenance at a very attractive price.

DRI CANADA is pleased to announce that effective September 2010, DRI CANADA's 15 week Business Continuity course has been incorporated into the Business Continuity curriculum at George Brown College. Students completing the course will be entitled to challenge the DRI CANADA Certification examination. This partnership has strengthened the program and will be a great advantage to students.
