The International Conference of Crisis Mappers (ICCM) is the leading humanitarian technology event of the year, bringing together the most important humanitarian, human rights, development and media organizations with the world’s best technology companies, software developers and academics. As thus one of the few neutral spaces where such important conversations can take place, the annual ICCM conference brings together a wide range of diverse actors for important conversations that lead to concrete new projects and deliverables across a variety of diverse domains. As a community of practice, the ICCM thus helps facilitate new projects and catalyzes innovation in the area of humanitarian technology.
The theme for this year’s event, Affected Communities in Spotlight, will focus on better engaging and understanding populations as the primary referent during a disaster.
Ms. Atefah Riazi, Chief Information Technology Officer & Assistant Secretary General, United Nations and Tan Sri Dr. Jemilah Mahmood, Chief, World Humanitarian Summit, United Nations will deliver the keynote addresses.
In addition to these two keynotes, there’s a whole raft of compelling ignite talks by some of the most interesting voices in the global crisis mapping community today.

In addition to co-curating and co-organising this year’s conference, the ICT4Peace Foundation hosted the 3rd International Conference on Crisis Mapping (ICCM) in Geneva, and over the years, has consistently supported the critical work of this unique community.
