BURLINGTON, Mass., May 4, 2021 — Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM), today announced that Dr. Judy Monroe, CDC Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Jay C. Butler, CDC Deputy Director for Infectious Diseases (DDID), will present at its Spring 2021 COVID-19: Road to Recovery (R2R) virtual leadership summit taking place May 26-27. These two leaders in philanthropy and infectious disease will cover the current state of the pandemic, the coronavirus vaccine rollout and what to expect in the latest phase of the global crisis as life and business begin to recover.
The two-day symposium will feature keynote addresses from 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Forbes Media, Steve Forbes, and United States Secretary of State (1997-2001) Madeleine K. Albright, and include presentations from world leaders, health experts and C-suite executives from cross-industry and geography.
“We remain grateful to the work of both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the CDC Foundation, and to the important insights Dr. Monroe and Dr. Butler will share related to the latest phase of the pandemic,” said David Meredith, Chief Executive Officer, Everbridge. “We look forward to bringing together the world’s experts to exchange best practices on how to more safely reintegrate people back to public spaces, reopen economies, and protect employees and citizens from future outbreaks.”
“Today, we are at a critical point in the pandemic response,” said Dr. Monroe. “Global cases are tragically spiking in some parts of the world, including India, while in the United States we have seen significant progress to reduce COVID cases based on greater numbers of those vaccinated. While this progress is promising, there is much work left to do both in the United States and across the globe. We are pleased that Everbridge is keeping these issues at the forefront, and we appreciate their support of vital response efforts.”
