2008 International Aid + Trade Event

The 2008 International Aid + Trade event brings together the global humanitarian relief, aid and development community to embrace the challenge of integrated aid and development. The event features a range of interactive exhibits where providers of the latest humanitarian relief goods and services will come together with leading agencies and organisations administering relief in the field, bringing the challenge of humanitarian relief to life. NGO and UN pavilions give UN agencies and NGOs the opportunity to meet other agencies, decision makers, visitors and businesses.

Speakers from United Nations organisations, aid agencies, NGOs, governments, business and academia will participate in the moderated workshop sessions to discuss the complex international relief issues, share knowledge about how to improve international disaster relief efforts and foster relationships for improved communication and coordination.
