The webinar will be led by two seasoned International SOS travel experts who will use personal anecdotes in a discussion of best practices gained through years of experience:
Pablo Weisz, Regional Security Manager, International SOS and Control Risks
John Rendeiro, Vice President, Global Security and Intelligence, International SOS (Former Assistant Director, International Programs of the Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Department of State)
