The annual BAPCO Conference & Exhibition, the UK public safety communications technology event, has opened for registrations. It’s running at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 10 and 11. BAPCO 2020 will bring together public safety technology users, manufacturers, technologists, academics and government.
The show will cover the latest technology on the exhibition floor. Conference sessions, panel and keynote speaker slots, and more interactive features than ever before, including the Drone Zone and Connected Vehicles, are planned.
The invited speakers include Bryan Clark, Director of the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme and Jarmo Vinkvist, CEO of Suomen Erillisverkot. The former will be discussing the delivery of ESN in the UK, and the latter presenting on the roll out of Finnish public safety broadband network VIRVE 2.0. BAPCO 2020 is sponsored by Motorola Solutions (Platinum), Audax (Silver), Capita (Silver) and Tait Communications (Silver).
Andy Paffett, Watch Manager, London Fire Brigade said: “The ability to network and to see new innovations all in one place. BAPCO is the place to meet potential suppliers and catch up with those whom you already deal with. It is the place to network with other agencies and to gain knowledge of new and innovative products.”
Ian Thompson, CEO of British APCO, said “In this time of rapid acceleration of technology, growing demand, an ongoing need to be efficient and effective and high expectations from our community, BAPCO 2020 is crucial in showcasing products and solutions as well as enabling those important conversations. As an association we are ever mindful of the needs of our members who consistently tell us this is a must attend event for everyone within our sector, no matter their role or organisation.”
