By Scott Wright
DAVID Miliband, the Labour big-hitter turned president and chief executive of the International Rescue Committee, will deliver the keynote address when the Scottish arm of the Institute of Directors hosts its first annual conference online.
The former Foreign Secretary will appear by live stream at the event on September 2 and 3. Speakers will also include Douglas Lamont, chief executive of Innocent Drinks, and Ifeyinwa Kanue, the founder and chief executive of IntelliDigest, which addresses the sustainability challenges posed by food waste.
Climate change will be a key topic on the agenda. The International Rescue Committee is dedicated to responding to humanitarian crises, helping people whose lives have been shattered by conflict and disaster to recover.
