About the Event 201 exercise
October 2019
Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise
that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based
facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas
associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible,
pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health
leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted
unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could
be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment,
and attention now and in the future.
