CIDRAP to hold business pandemic prep summit

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota is conducting another summit on pandemic preparedness for businesses on September 22 and 23 in Minneapolis. From the summit's announcement:

It's not too late to get some very crucial and practical preparedness planning completed and implemented in your organization. But time is of the essence. No more feeling your way through the preparedness black hole. Execution is everything now. And it helps if somebody else has tried it and is willing to share which best Practices worked and which didn't.

To try to bring a very current, practical, and execution-driven summary of what we all can do to have the highest level of preparedness in our organizations, CIDRAP is sponsoring its third pandemic preparedness summit on September 22 and 23 in Minneapolis. "Keeping the World Working During the H1N1 Pandemic: Protecting Employee Health, Critical Operations, and Customer Relations" is the title we've chosen for this 2-day crash course and summary of the latest, most effective actions your organization can implement to be better prepared.

While I'm sure this summit has been in the planning for a long time, the timing is certainly right.
