AidEx 2014 – 12-13 November 2014

AidEx 2014

12-13 November 2013, Hall 11, Brussels Expo, Belgieplein – 1 – Place de Belgique, B-1020 Brussels, Belgium

AidEx is a major international conference and exhibition for humanitarian and development professionals of all stripes. Held annually in Brussels, we bring together different voices  whether they be NGO fieldworkers, the public and private sectors, long-established thought leaders or brand new start-ups.

 

We encourage organisations to network with one another, connect with suppliers and attend topical sessions to facilitate discussions on the current challenges they face.  It’s also a great place to establish important, durable business relationships. Find out who will be crowned king or queen of Aid Innovation and who will win the coveted Humanitarian Hero of the Year Award at our prestigious awards ceremonies.

This year the theme will be ‘Innovation in Aid & Development’. Dialogue sessions will be held with experts to question and understand what innovation is, whether its application is feasible in the aid and development arena and where future trends will lead us.

Receive your free entry by registering today.

In memory of Glenneth Thomas, GCN member who perished in flight MH17

This is a special post to to remember a dear GCN member, Glenn Thomas, who tragically perished in the Malaysian Airlines disaster last week.
He will be deeply missed and our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
(Author unknown)
In deepest sympathy,
The GCN Team
