Event Details:
Which health risks should we expect to affect travelers, expatriates and others over the course of the next year? What can be done to reduce these risks so organizations can achieve their goals and flourish globally?

The past year was a busy one when it came to global health risks and the pace has not slowed. It brought the worst Ebola outbreak the world has ever seen with ripple effects around the world. We saw certain diseases pop up where they've never been seen before, like Chikungunya, which is transmitted through mosquitos and surfaced in the Caribbean as well as the East Coast of the United States.

We'll discuss what's ahead, but most importantly, what organizations can do to minimize their risks and successfully continue their projects, meetings and operations. We'll also look at how the Ebola outbreak caused risk managers to take another look at their plans for other threats while integrating global health security as a key component
