The APCO Global Congress will be held 1-3 May, 2012 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Congress will showcase the vast array of technology and education available to public safety professionals in the global arena. It will also offer practitioners a chance to better understand the needs and concerns of diverse geographic and political regions so they can provide the most advanced and efficient technologies.

Delegates will learn the latest best practices and research in educational sessions led by international experts including Neil Kirby, Director of Operations, who will present on behalf of DCAS. His session, “The end user: What I want,” will be on Wednesday, 2 May 2012.

“We are honored to have DCAS return as a Strategic Partner,” said APCO Global Alliance Chair Geoff Spring. “The participation of the DCAS staff, with their expertise and experience, helps to elevate the Congress to a new dimension. Having a member of the DCAS team present at the Congress is a welcome addition to the program. We are pleased to continue our relationship with them.”
