The 2nd Annual Homeland Security Summit:
Interdependence: Assessing New Risks and Sharing the Costs
May 15 - 16, 2003
Hyatt Regency Crystal City Hotel
Arlington , VA


Event Overview:

Interdependence: Assessing New Risks and Sharing the Costs

The American economy is a highly integrated network of public and private
organizations using technology to interact instantaneously to conduct
business, run facilities, transport people and goods, and power cities.
That interdependence, while offering the competitive advantages of speed,
innovation, and efficiency, makes our system particularly vulnerable to
disruption by terrorists. What's the effect of this interdependence on our
security? How can public and private organizations work together to
preserve the openness and transparency that are America's strengths while
guarding them from those who would bring it down?

The 2003 McGraw-Hill Companies Homeland Security Summit will address these
questions and the specific issues they raise in areas most critical to the
security of our system: Aviation and Transportation, Business and
Economics, Infrastructure and Design, Public Health, and Energy and
Natural Resources.
