George Rice, Executive Director of APCO International.

“Our goal is to bring global networking, knowledge and experience to the Middle East.”

The APCO Global Alliance is bringing a public safety conference and tradeshow to Dubai in June this year. The inaugural APCO Global Congress (6-8 June) is a three-day event that will provide high quality educational programming and showcase the latest in public safety technology.

The event is being hosted by the APCO Global Alliance, which is formed by BAPCO (UK), APCO Australasia, APCO Canada and APCO International. “Our goal is to bring global networking, knowledge and experience to the Middle East”, says George Rice, Executive Director of APCO International. “The Congress was a joint vision of the Global Alliance to launch an event that would bring the sharpest minds and cutting-edge technology in public safety to an area of the world that previously did not have an established APCO presence.”

The schedule of events is quite robust and boasts speakers from Australia, Canada, Jordan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The sessions cover a variety of technologies and topics relevant to the public safety communications profession as well as lessons learned and insight from major events such as the Vancouver Olympics and the Wild Fires in Australia. In addition to the sessions, the exhibit hall will feature the latest public safety solutions available provided by a diverse set of vendors.

We hope to establish a footprint in the Middle East, create a strong global network of professional peers and encourage the exchange of information in a global context. With the support and commitment we have established in Dubai, we look forward to returning in 2012.
