Webinar: Global political and security outlook for 2012

Global hotspots for business travellers in 2012 will be analysed by security and political experts from Control Risks and International SOS in an open webinar on 31 January.

A number of crises last year from earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand to the Arab Spring and mass flight disruptions highlighted to businesses the challenges involved in meeting duty of care obligations while trying to increase business opportunities.

Companies looking to expand internationally or send staff overseas for work in 2012 will benefit from attending this timely webinar, in which experts will investigate perceived vs. real threats and share best practices for risk management.
           
Presenters will review the top 20 countries reported as “most risky” for business travel by respondents to International SOS’ recent Duty of Care and Travel Risk Management Benchmarking Study and the 2011 client survey and analyse threats specific to each location.

Following the presentation, webinar attendees are invited to participate in a Q&A session with the speakers. Participants will also learn how they can secure a free trial of Control Risks’ online Country Risk Forecast tool.

Together with Control Risks, an independent, specialist risk consultancy and joint venture partner, the companies employ more than 200 full-time security consultants, analysts and tracking experts who provide travel security reporting, analysis, and expert advice.
