Pandemic Flu Planning for Business & Public Sector Summit: A Swine Flu Update - Sept 2009
Date	Friday 11 September 2009
Venue	London - Danubius Hotel Regents Park, London NW8 7JT
Due to the current and rapidly developing situation we are running  two additional pandemic flu summits on the 11th September 2009 and again on the 15th October 2009 at the Danubius Regents Park Hotel in London. With the alarming spread of Swine Flu taking a grip across the globe and the the WHO announcing the first global pandemic for 40 years, the urgent focus of BFI’s  Pandemic Flu Summit for Business and the Public Sector will be  to provide a current snapshot of the issues concerning the H1N1 virus along with  crucial legal, health and contingency updates. Delegates will also get strategic and practical information that will help ensure their organisations can prepare for and commercially operate through what is now considered to be a potential global pandemic flu outbreak. Previous BFI Pandemic Planning event feedback: Lots of points to consider in our need to plan for a pandemic – Office Depot UK Ltd All very factual, did not scare-monger, speakers told it as it is and their knowledge and experiences were extremely beneficial. All speakers produced an overall rounded view on issues associated with pandemic flu – University of Bradford The conference has covered the elements we have looked at internally and provided a useful benchmark – Barclaycard Useful to have speakers who have experienced a pandemic rather than theorising – well done! – The Land Registry Very good mix of both public and private sector issues – Scottish Ambulance Service A very useful cross-section of presentations and speakers – Financial Services Authority A lot of things for consideration – very worthwhile – Cheltenham & Gloucester Building Society Has provided a wide perspective and range of views across various spheres of the public sector on which to expand our plans. Issues raised that I had not considered – Lloyds TSB Well informed and relevant speakers – Royal Bank of Scotland Informative, little hype and I trusted the information given – Norwich Union Very good range of topics covered with some excellent speakers. Am able to take new ideas back to my workplace – Tyne & Wear Fire & Rescue Excellent conference, speakers covered the wide breadth of issues involved – Tesco Stores Many points raised that will influence the ongoing development of contingency planning in my organisation – British American Tobacco Informative speakers with different perspectives – have never before been to a conference where every speaker was relevant! – Scottish Courage Would be pretty difficult to better this event – Royal & SunAlliance Insurance
