The conference, hosted by the Emergency Management Association of Georgia, is one of the biggest gatherings of Emergency Management professionals in the Southeastern United States. When IDM students weren’t serving as conference volunteers, checking in attendees and facilitating breakout sessions, they found opportunities to network with future employers and internship preceptors and broaden their horizons to new topics in disaster management. If you ask IDM director, Dr. Curt Harris, he’ll tell you the EMAG conference has paved the way for dozens of partnerships, projects, and funding opportunities, many of which were made possible even after the conference closed up shop for the day.
