IDRiM 2018, the 9th Conference of the International Society for Integrated Disaster Risk Management will take place in Sydney, Australia.
Sydney is Australia’s largest, most cosmopolitan and exciting city. A melting point of different cultures, backgrounds and influences.
The city boasts majestic beaches, breath-taking natural wonders and iconic landmarks. You will also find a dynamic dining scene; a love of culture, the arts and sport; an exuberant spirit and a near-perfect climate.
It is also a hive of commerce, innovation and research. The city is home to world-renowned universities, a wealth of exciting start-ups, and more multinational regional headquarters than any other city in Australia.
Sydney is the ideal location for our conference and one of the world’s most unforgettable places to visit. Join us there on the 2nd October 2018 and discover this incredible city for yourself.
