Dear Members,

The pandemic is accelerating geopolitical instabilities, while local security threats bubble underneath a ‘COVID myopia’ and the infodemic that is eroding trust in governments & health bodies. Advice, timely and accurate information has never been so important. International SOS security expert will address how to broaden, interrogate, and build a clear and trustworthy path to an infodemic-resilient future.
