About
ISSA Global Biorisk Symposium
A Symposium with the theme “Changing the Way the World Views Cleaning” could not have been better timed.
The ISSA Global Biorisk Symposium is designed to bring in-depth knowledge in the field of microbial-pathogenic threat analysis, mitigation, response, and recovery. The symposium experts provide cutting-edge research that appeals to a broad expanse of the commercial, institutional, and cleaning community.
In partnership with the Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC), a division of ISSA, the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, and Informa Markets — the ISSA Global Biorisk Symposium is comprised of multiple virtual symposia throughout the world.
The Fundamentals
What is a Symposium?
A symposium (single event) or Symposia (multiple events) are generally defined as a meeting organized so that experts in a given field can meet, present papers, and discuss issues and trends or make recommendations for a certain course of action. Some definitions of the symposium include a degree of audience participation that is less than that of a forum, thus implying a greater structure to the meeting format.
Solving the Problem
As the evolving impacts of COVID-19 ripple through our communities, we are all facing unforeseen challenges. Dynamic global markets are forcing organizations to innovate at a blinding speed to stay ahead. Rapid advances in technology are providing both opportunities and challenges for our testing leaders.
The Structure
Each session is concise resulting in an information-packed program. All Symposiums are accessible to all who are interested, either by connecting directly through the Symposium registration site. Questions can be asked via a chatbox and are read out by the meeting moderators.
The Experts
This is not just another online training — our team of experts and academics from across the industry and world will speak on various angles related to COVID-19 including strategies for training frontline workers, cleaning methods and processes, and communicating with stakeholders.
