“We want to give the audience a chance to extend the NCPS experience beyond the livestream,” said Caroline Phillips, Founder of the NCPS, “This Program Book allows our viewers to absorb the additional resources at their own pace, whether that be before, after or during the Summit.”

Along with links to recommended reports, articles and videos, the NCPS Program Book also contains a full speaker list with links to speaker biographies.
