Humanitarian Logistics Forum, Hull University

Delegates at the Humanitarian Logistics Forum
I feel very positive after attending the two day Humanitarian Logistics Forum (28+29 Nov) at Hull University Business School.

The meeting brought together around 30 senior practitioners and academics and focused on the logistics skills and capabilities needed to to enable post-disaster recovery and to lay the ground for future economic development.

The conference was truly international with participants from North America, Australia, Scandinavia, the UK and more locations than I can remember. It was a great opportunity to network and to share experiences and  ideas. The meeting concluded with ideas for a research agenda and a white paper will follow shortly.

The event was sponsored by Cocal Cola and chaired by Emeritus Professor of Marketing & Logistics, Dr Martin Christopher of Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University.
