Too Big To Miss!

The APCO International Annual Conference presents the public safety communications industry’s best educational and product offerings. Executives, dispatchers, and technicians involved in all aspects of public safety communications from law enforcement to PSAPs to government agencies, gather here each year.

This year’s conference in Houston, TX will see some exciting new changes.

The reconfigured conference schedule allows attendees to achieve its full value with just a 3-night stay. Learn new skills, explore new products and services, and connect with other public safety communications officials. Choose from more than 90 educational sessions hand-selected by a highly-qualified team of ranking public safety professionals. Topics range from new technology to disaster planning to management and training tips.

You’ll also hear from prominent and inspirational Keynote Speakers which have included notables like Sam Donaldson, Capt. Brudnicke (the real-life coast guard captain in The Perfect Storm), Commander Kirk Lippold (Ret.) U.S. Navy, commander of the USS Cole and Lt. General Russel L. Honore’, hailed by the media as the Category 5 General who saved New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

In the Exhibit Hall, explore cutting-edge technologies and trends from more than 350 companies. Finally, catch up with colleagues and have a little fun at networking events like the Monday Night Celebration and Blue and White Gala.

At the end of the conference, walk away with the tools and knowledge to help you achieve your professional public safety communications goals.

Registration opens in February. Get started planning your 2010 Annual Conference experience today—explore the site for more details and follow us on Twitter @APCOConference

This is not my first time attending. This year was pretty interesting, more than previous conferences. The technology is changing fast. I’ve come every year and will come next year.”

Pamela, Attendee

This is our third time as an APCO sponsor. The reason why we're here is we are passionate about public safety and our solutions for the public safety communications continuity. Here we have an opportunity to show our capabilities with APCO attendees. It seems to get better every year.”

Teresa, Avaya

It’s been great! This is my first time attending the national show and to see the vendor area is great. I took the telecommunication burnout course. The show has great classes and good information. Stuff you can take back and use.”
