JOIN NENA IN PITTSBURGH JUNE 10-15
and help us celebrate our 25th year. Learn from our leaders on lessons from our past even as we ready ourselves for the challenges of the future. Weve all heard of the coming technological revolution in communications and the IP-enabled 9-1-1 center, but what does that really mean to the manager and telecommunicator, in terms of operations, staffing, training and funding? Well answer all these questions, not only with courses and sessions, but a specially created PSAP of the future in the exhibit hall.
OUR 25TH CONFERENCE is one youll not want to missfull of innovative educational sessions, a spectacular exhibit hall, and special events honoring our past and celebrating our future.
