We are very excited to announce that registration is open for VOICES 21st Annual Remembrance Symposium, Pathways to Resilience. Once again, the event will be held on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10 at the Downtown Marriott Hotel in New York City.

 

This year's program is presented in partnership with the Leadership in Counter Terrorism Alumni Association (LinCT-AA) and the International Network Supporting Victims of Terrorism and Mass Violence (INVICTM). The two-day event brings together distinguished professionals working in national security, law enforcement, victims’ services, mental health, compensation, and investigations in the aftermath of 9/11, as well as other international acts of mass violence.

 

The September 9 program is available via live stream only, and the September 10 program is available in person and via live stream. The programs are free and registration is required.

 

 

9:00am to 4:30pm (Live Stream Only)

 

Building Trust During Turbulent Times highlights the important collaboration between LinCT-AA, INVICTM and VOICES. Building upon LinCT-AA’s 2022 Better Together Conference, presenters will share their expertise based on firsthand experience, identify challenges, and propose solutions through public-private partnerships, in the US and abroad. The agenda includes presentations on global threats, legacy projects, victim-centered response, leadership strategies, and more.

 

5:15pm to 6:30pm (Live Stream Only)

 

The September 9 Symposium is followed by an evening panel discussion about the 9/11 Commission and highlights of Are We Safer Today? The documentary chronicles the memories and observations of the 9/11 Commissioners on the largest investigation in US history that led to sweeping intelligence reforms. The conversation will also reflect on our Nation’s progress towards implementing their recommendations as they commemorate twenty years since their formation.

 

9:00am to 4:30pm (In Person and Live Stream)

 

Support Beyond the 20th Anniversary addresses the many outstanding issues that continue to impact the 9/11 community more than 20 years later. Dedicated professionals who have committed their careers to serving the 9/11 community will share their expertise and provide important updates. Sessions highlight mental health considerations, commemoration, compensation, pending litigation and an introduction to new agency leadership. The program features lessons learned for professionals and agencies providing victims’ services and responding to other acts of mass violence
