The IAEM Annual Conference provides a forum for current trends and topics, information about the latest tools and technology in emergency management and homeland security, and advances IAEM committee work. Sessions encourage stakeholders at all levels of government, the private sector, public health and related professions to exchange ideas on collaborating to protect lives and property from disaster. If you are an emergency manager, homeland security official, first response coordinator, private industry risk manager or contingency planner, you will not want to miss the IAEM 56th Annual Conference & EMEX 2008.
- Education and Training: A forum for current trends and topics, latest tools and technology.
- Collaboration: A place for all levels of government, private sector, public health and related professions to exchange ideas.
- Networking: More than 1500 participants.
- Products and Services: EMEX 2008 showcases technologies, products and services.
The IAEM Student Council (IAEM-SC) will be hosting three job & networking opportunities for participants at the IAEM Conference in Kansas City this year. We hope you will consider participating in all these free events.
Job Board
The simplest program is a job board located within the EMEX Hall. Any individual or company interested in posting a job or internship that is currently or will be available in the near future may send that job in Microsoft Word or PDF format to Kristina Wise no later than Nov. 3, 2008. IAEM will print out the jobs and post them. If you miss the deadline you may also bring copies and post to the job board at the conference.
Green Flags: A Job Market at EMEX
For EMEX vendors hiring currently or in the near future, or who are interested in collecting resumes for future work, the Green Flag program is for you. Simply email Kristina Wise of your intent to participate, and you will be provided with a green flag to hang on your booth at EMEX. This will signify to our student participants that you are interested in meeting them, collecting their resume, and discussing opportunities with your organization.
IAEM-SC Networking Reception
Monday night from 8:00pm-9:30pm, IAEM-SC will be hosting a networking reception. Any EMEX or conference participant currently hiring, offering internshipsm or looking to do so in the near future is invited to participate in this mixer. The attire is business casual, and space is limited. Any interested individuals or organizations are asked to RSVP to Kristina Wise as soon as possible.
