Disaster Recovery & Risk Management
Milwaukee, WI | February 1, 2007
 Natural and man-made disasters like SARS, 9/11, the Tsunami, the London bombings, Katrina, and the threat of bird flu have elevated national and international awareness and disaster preparedness. Executives and operational managers need to be ready to respond to the next disaster as well as building greater resilience across the enterprise, while managing costs.
This event will discuss the increasing demands facing CIOs, business continuity, disaster recovery and emergency management professionals, exchanging insights on key issues such as:
