NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

We invite you to join our free webinar series on island strategies for the future.

We know that the implications of COVID-19 will impact islands in many ways, particularly noting public health, self-sufficiency and the economy – tourism being a particularly important part of the discussion.

In this series we will start the global discussion looking at a selection of global islands, before moving into the specific response of the Caribbean region and then looking at the country-level response in Jamaica.

We will be exploring the current crisis’ implications for islanders around the world, and invite you to participate in the live discussion through the event chat, polls and Q&A.

Speakers announced in the series so far include:
✰ Anaitee Mills, Advisor to the Prime Minister of Jamaica
✰ Dr Francesco Sindico, University of Strathclyde
✰ Daniel Trigg, Lanzarote Business and Residents Association
✰ Mohamed Raaidh, Maldives Integrated Tourism Development Corporation
✰ Dr Che Bowen, CEO MDLink (Jamaica)

We look forward to seeing you during our live sessions!

Time: 11 am CST (US and Canada)
