day were– Pandemic Flu by Rose Lam (GMH), Crisis Communication by Farah Abdul
Rahim (Hill & Knowlton) , Risk & Security Management by Mr Tan Chong
Kuan, Joshua Kwai & Zulkifli from STET. Our delegates have some positive feedbacks to share:
“I like to way World Continuity
Congress 2008 was organized – it’s not so training-focused. There were
variety of workshops that participants may choose which ones they wish to
attend. Topics are more specialized which catered for different departments
in the organization” - Elsa Wan, Information Security Motorola Asia Pacific Ltd
(Hong Kong)
Coming next year is the World Continuity Congress 2009 on 4 November 2009. We hope to see you next year in WCC 2009!
