Improving Emergency Response
The two day Conference is integral to The Emergency Services Show and essential for anyone involved with emergency planning and business continuity.
The aim of the Conference is to broaden knowledge of all aspects of emergency response capabilities in the UK. It achieves this by providing a far reaching programme of factual briefings, case studies and interactive discussions. High profile speakers talk from first hand experience about issues that matter right now, as well as helping plan for the future.
Recent resilience activities are incorporated into the programme keeping it as topical and relevant as possible. This makes it a key date for your diary, regardless of whether you have attended before.
Finally – the additional opportunity to network with your colleagues and peers ensures an industry event not to be missed.
NB. Conference delegates will have ample time to visit the exhibition over the course of each day.
