Presenters at the inaugural Adventure Risk Research Symposium

Our inaugural Adventure Risk Research Symposium was a hit. Keep an eye soon for a call for new papers for next year!

Some of the feedback we received from attendees:
"This was phenomenal. There is an urgent need for this in our field. It would be great to see this content and approach ingrained more throughout the mainstream conference."

"This workshop was a whirlwind of good information. The need for addressing problems on the systems level was a really good takeaway."
