As the spread of COVID-19 continues to widen economic and social stress globally, resilience is vital — on a personal, societal, and economic level. Digital technology, connectivity, and the establishment of standards communities have emerged as essential tools. These tools foster resilience as we shift to digital services and communication methods. The fundamental shift to digital services and communication offers great potential and promise.
As we build upon the learnings from the 2020 webinar series, the IEEE and the eWorldwide Group have come together again for a three day webinar series to further explore the themes of Management, Mitigation and Response with leading experts from around the world.
Please see the Agenda for the three days of webinars below. We look forward to an engaging and interactive dialogue where insights, use cases and experiences can be shared and lessons learned. This will help guide us as we move forward with direction and purpose in this worthwhile and extremely important area of building resilience.
Please email Moira Patterson to receive an invite to the online sessions.
