The Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) is pleased to host the Virtual ISMS Annual Conference 2021. Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions caused by it, RMC will follow the example of Finland's National Defence University last year, and use a virtual platform for the conference.
Pandemic, social disorder, and climate will be some of the new forms of disruption our October conference is expected to address. This 45-minute podcast opens the door to some of the questions.
