Southeast and Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP) 9th Annual Meeting
Date: February 4-5, 2025
Join us in beautiful downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, for the SCDRP 9th Annual Meeting!
SCDRP Annual Meetings are different. If you’ve attended our Annual Meetings before, you know that SCDRP’s flagship event is not your typical conference. SCDRP Annual Meetings are unique and distinguished convenings marked by the attendance of diverse, multi-sectoral professionals representing the private, academic, non-profit, and public sectors from a broad geographic region stretching across the Southeastern U.S. and Caribbean. Spend two days with us and enjoy close networking with top organizations working to make a difference in the disaster resilience, recovery, and adaptation disciplines.
SCDRP Annual Meetings are intentionally small. During our gatherings, we all share in the entire experience; high-level speakers remain accessible to all, and we have the time and space for collective learning and collaborative development of ideas into future action plans. In order to ensure this, we cap our meetings at 125 attendees. We have sold out for the last 2 years, so be sure to register early!
SCDRP Annual Meetings are relevant by design. Throughout the planning process, we listen to our Partners and create the meeting agenda with them in mind. We incorporate timely issues and pressing topics that are important to our Partners and the organizations and communities that they represent. We cross geographic and political boundaries to bring together the brightest, most innovative leaders in the natural hazard resilience, climate adaptation, and disaster recovery fields in the U.S. Southeast and Caribbean. As we select speakers and topics and design educational field trips and networking events, we incorporate into the planning process a deep commitment to our core values of collaboration, learning, equity, and support. This commitment reveals itself through honest sharing, storytelling, eye-opening insights, laughter, thoughtful questions, cell phones full of new contacts, joyful reunions, high-fives, and hugs!
