Program
The theme “Mitigating Risks: Containing Costs” is intended to highlight the importance of developing effective public-private partnerships in taking a strategic risk-management approach to secure trade, recognising that security measures involve costs to the private sector and that it is important that these measures are framed in a way which minimises these additional costs while facilitating trade.
Please note: The following program is a draft only and is subject to change prior to the Conference.
