An essential platform for the regional and global emergency, disaster management and search and rescue community, IECM is co-located at the same time as DIHAD, the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference & Exhibition.

Now in its 16th edition, this three-day event brings together key decision-makers and emergency response professionals from governments, aid agencies, search and rescue teams, NGOs, media and the private sector.

Collaboration is at the core of the agenda, reflecting the intention to unite the sector in mutually shared solutions and progress. Through a series of workshops, participants can showcase ongoing campaigns, techniques, strategies and innovations. Presentations will be followed by Q&A sessions, enabling invaluable learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities for all.

Meanwhile, the trade show component of IECM enables exhibitors to demonstrate to an audience of potential buyers the very latest in equipment, technology, solutions and services. The show will be dedicated to areas such as preparation, response, disaster prevention, recovery and resilience.
