For those looking to network with other humanitarian/development workers, and those who are interested in such, there is a XIIth Humanitarian Congress, Friday and Saturday, 15 & 16 October 2010 in Berlin, Germany. The subject is: Trauma, Chaos and Politics: Humanitarian Action in Haiti and in other Emergencies
Were I still in Germany, I would most definitely go... if you go, please blog about your experience, and let me know!
From the web site: "The Humanitarian Congress is an international platform for the exchange of information, experiences and ideas related to humanitarian action. Each year, the Congress brings together leading experts from non-governmental organisations, the medical world, humanitarian and international organisations, politics and the media... More than 70 practitioners and researchers from a multitude of backgrounds will present their experiences and concerns through a series of panel discussions and workshops. Discussion themes include: priorities in earthquake situations; the role of the military in natural disasters; security management; surgery; groups with special needs; sexual violence; and an introduction to humanitarian action. The congress will close with a debate on the shrinking humanitarian space in Afghanistan."
The conference is focused on "Representatives of political institutions, NGO staff, medical workers, psychologists, lawyers, journalists, academics and students are all welcome to attend the Congress. And of course anyone driven to learn more about the humanitarian aid sector."
Information English & Information in German.
This is a great conference for professional development and networking for potential program partners or for future employment opportunities. Such conferences allow attendees to not only learn from each other, but also for attendees to promote themselves, their work and their areas of expertise.
