About the Conference
This conference grew out of the highly regarded Warfighter’s Vision series of conferences in which AFEI examined issues of interoperability, connectivity and net-enabled operations from the edge user’s perspective.
The conference will bring academia, industry and government together to discuss the roles, responsibilities and equities of the many organizations who must respond to natural or man-made crises.
Crisis response and support is a very complex undertaking. It requires federal, state, local, tribal and private sector organizations to come together rapidly and perform well under intense pressure and scrutiny. In all cases preparation is the key, but in a crisis flexibility and agility dominates when the unforeseen emerges.
Registration will be available shortly. Please check back for more information on registering for this conference.
