Disaster Forum, presented by Trace Associates, is an opportunity for emergency management and business continuity professionals and practitioners from across Canada to connect, share, and learn from one another.
Join us and be a part of our community of professionals who are passionate about strengthening the processes, systems, and people that keep organizations and communities thriving. If your work touches any facet of business continuity, emergency management and technology resilience, you’ll find others at Disaster Forum that understand the realities you face and are eager to share ideas, tools, and lived experience. The event focuses on learning from one another, sharing best practices, and exploring new approaches that help organizations and communities stay strong and adaptable. Participants hear from a diverse range of speakers covering topics such as risk management, psychological safety, partnering with Indigenous communities, disaster recovery, and IT resilience best practices. Our agenda is designed to spark conversation, collaboration, and practical insights.
