What challenges and opportunities lie ahead? Is it possible that the sensible use of proven technologies could "change the game," allowing humanitarian agencies the opportunity to end poverty and enhance conservation programs all over the world? The World Affairs Council presents four Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in 150 countries. Each will give a unique perspective on opportunities and challenges in emergency response, conservation and international development based on years of experience working with information and communications technologies in the developing world. The panel will help us understand the challenges of humanitarian work and allow us to hear from the experts on ways that information and communications technologies can make a difference. We will hear about funding challenges that are built into the system and what you can do about it, as well as "The Humanitarian Productivity Gap" and "The Tyranny of the Pie Chart." Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about two of the biggest challenges facing the international relief, humanitarian, and conservation sectors as they work to fulfill their missions with the poorest of the poor in the most austere conditions imaginable. A VIP reception will be held at 6:00pm at the MOHAI in advance of the public lecture at a cost of $40. The cost will include preferred seating and attendance at the public lecture to follow.
