Resilience Measurement, Evidence and Learning Community of Practice (MELCoP) Conference 2018 and Resilience Shift Workshop

13-15 November 2018, @New Orleans, U.S.A

 

 

GIB is participating in the upcoming RMEL Community of Practice conference in New Orleans (November 13-15). The common adage, what gets measured gets managed, informs the conference theme, Measuring up to the Resilience Challenge. Become part of this growing global network of 200+ resilience measurement researchers and evaluators working to Strengthen the Evidence Base for Resilience Investments.

Join GIB at #RMELConf2018, where the program includes the panel Investing in Resilience: Measurement, Evidence and Learning for Businesses, and the workshop on resilience co-organized by GIB and The Resilience Shift, a global initiative to catalyse resilience within and between critical infrastructure sectors. Join us in sharing and discussing tools to enhance resilience in the planning, financing, and implementation of critical infrastructure projects. This workshop will also enable tool developers to showcase their tools to an audience covering a wide spectrum of stakeholders within the infrastructure value chain. Besides benefiting from an increased awareness of their tools, developers will be able to gauge the existing market barriers undermining a broader tool adoption. Stakeholders will discover what tools could be useful to them.
