Registration continues for the International Humanitarian Assistance Symposium to be held in Miami, June 7th and 8th, 2012. Organized by The Family Assistance Foundation and Intercruises Shoreside & Port Services, the symposium will enhance industry response to emergencies and disasters, uniting different sectors through knowledge sharing and thus ensuring those involved in an unforeseen tragedy are given the support they need. The two-day event will consist of a series of educational panels, practical workshops and experiences recounted first-hand by disaster and accident survivors.
“Myths about notification protocols in various countries, and a lack of knowledge about global resources for assisting survivors, have dominated the field of family assistance for too long,” says Dr. Carolyn Coarsey, co-founder of the Family Assistance Foundation and conference organizer. “We look forward to joining with all of our partners in becoming more enlightened in these crucial areas.”
Industry-specific breakout sessions will be offered throughout the session. Speakers include highly experienced executives from global brands, such as American Airlines, Westjet Airlines, Limited Brands, Carnival Cruise Lines, Carnival UK, Flexjet, Maersk Drilling, Statoil, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
