Dallas, TX – June 17, 2013 – M. Power and
Associates will hold a conference this fall to create awareness and educate
small and large business owners how to identify and prepare for threats that
could injure their business or the economy.
The 2013 Risk Mitigation and C-TPAT International (RMCI) Conference will
be held on September 11th and 12th, at a hotel in Dallas,
Texas to be determined.
2013 RMCI Conference will provide an opportunity for the
public sector and private sectors to develop joint efforts that will result in
an increased ability for businesses and communities to prevent, prepare for,
respond to, recover from, and mitigate disasters. In addition to plenary sessions, which will
look at the most common threats to business, the Forum will be divided into
eight topic areas: container security, physical security, access controls,
procedural security, personnel security, I.T. security, training and awareness,
and business partner validations.
Panel Discussions that will provide participants the
opportunity to have a “Question and Answer” session with subject-matter-experts
will also be held. Additional offerings
including luncheons, a dinner, and a networking event will also afford opportunitities
to interact with business counterparts in a relaxed atmosphere.
Among other things, the conference will encourage and
empower the trade community to take more active measures to protect their
businesses and communities. With a 85%
ownership of critical infrastructure, the private sector’s ability to prepare
for and respond to disasters play a major role in how quickly communities are
able to recover from disasters. Many small-to-medium
businesses around the world do not feel they have the skills or resources
needed to develop and implement comprehensive security plans that protect our
businesses and our economies. They are not aware of the opportunities
available for them. Thus, this
conference can accomplish the critical task of informing them how to prepare
for disasters.
We intend to create a platform for interaction of
business people in the trade community and the public sector. To achieve this objective, we will focus on the
18 Sectors that make up Critical Infrastructure Key Resources. All of these sectors share interdependencies
with one another that have the potential to create major negative consequences
when not properly addressed.
2013 RMCI Conference will serve as the catalyst that
brings the public sector and private sector together with counterparts from the
United States and around the world.
