[general_devel] Invitation to Attend Free Event - Network, Interact, Participate, Discover, Learn

Thu Oct 11 16:08:23 BST 2012

I would like to invite you to participate in the first ever AIDF Asia-Pacific. The Aid and International Development Forum (AIDF) organises a FREE to attend event that is essentially an integrated exhibition and conference aimed at those who work in the areas of humanitarian aid and disaster response. After several successful years in Washington D.C. USA, we are pleased to launch our first ever Asia-Pacific event in partnership with the RMA Group, 30-31 January in Bangkok. I would like to invite you to attend this event, free of cost. Register <http://www.aidforumonline.org/aidf_asia_pacific/registration>  here

As you know, the Asia Pacific region is disproportionately affected by natural disasters; therefore the agenda concentrates on related topics and would be of particular interest to the disaster response and management sector. We are delighted to be working with UN OCHA, UN FAO, the HLA, UNDP, Caritas Asia, World Vision, ECHO and JICA among other organizations. Oliver Lacey-Hall, Head of UN OCHA Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific will be presenting a keynote speech. With three areas for discussion, a Conference area will focus on high-level discussion, a Workshop area on operational efficiency and an Interactive Zone on providing practical solutions. Please click  <http://www.aidforumonline.org/aidf_asia_pacific/agenda> here for more information on our agenda.
