Lessons Management Forum 2023
Date
27 June 2023 - 29 June 2023
Closing the loop: the challenges of change
With an increase in emergencies, we are seeing a corresponding increase in the number of reviews, inquiries and Royal Commissions. How do we prioritise learning from the lessons identified, while also balancing the implementation and monitoring of recommendations? How do we close the loop and truly learn and understand the underlying drivers of innovations and the challenges experienced? Are we truly learning the lesson?
The 2023 Lessons Management Forum will explore the challenges faced by lessons practitioners and the wider emergency management community in implementing identified lessons to ensure they are learned.
The forum will be hosted as a hybrid event, allowing attendance in person, or virtually for those unable to travel to Canberra. For those attending in person, additional networking opportunities will be made available.
What our 2022 Lessons Management Forum delegates said:
"Excellent forum with useful, relevant information and learning for all participants - no matter where they are from or what agency they represent."
"A great opportunity for gaining insights from experienced practitioners and information sharing with peers from different environments."
"Online is a great option for those who are unable to travel for any reason and should be maintained for future events. The only real drawback is missing out on the networking."
"The online attendance option was great - without this I wouldn't have been able to participate at all. A key outcome of conferences is connecting and building your network - the online option still enabled me to do this by reaching out to new contacts after they had presented via email, LinkedIn etc."
Ticket options and inclusions
The Lessons Management Forum will be delivered as a hybrid-event, allowing those unable to join AFAC and AIDR in Canberra to participate online.
Virtual attendees will join via Zoom, and all delegates will use an online Q&A platform to engage with speakers.
