There is one conference this year that you can't afford to miss, the Technologies for Critical Incident Preparedness (TCIP) conference of 2011. Why can't you afford to miss it? There are many reason, but number one is that it is free. Not many conferences today are free and TCIP is unique at many levels. The reason its free is because it is co-sponsored by the US Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Defense - and hosted with the Nation's leading public safety and homeland security non-profit organizations, including NAPSG.
Aside from the great price tag, there are many other reasons that you should consider in making the decision to come to TCIP this year. We've outlined some of the key points about the conference, and hopefully they will help you make the case to your bosses and other decision makers:
- TCIP is the ONLY conference that will bring together nearly 1,000 emergency responders and public safety officials across all disciplines
- TCIP is the ONLY conference dedicated to providing you with education on cutting-edge technology for use in prevention, preparedness, response & recovery
- TCIP is the premier, and Federal government sponsored, annual education and information sharing opportunity for the public safety & technology communities
