Conference on Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity to be Held at UK

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 18, 2018) — Disasters, whether natural or the result of human action, can happen at any time and often when they are unexpected.  How can entities like businesses, organizations and schools continue operating after experiencing a disaster?  A conference will be held at the University of Kentucky to address that subject.

The conference will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, in Room 311 of the Gatton College of Business and Economics building.
