2016 National Homeland Security Conference

The 2016 conference is in Tampa, Fla.

Staying abreast of homeland security trends and technology is best done by attending an event like the 2016 National Homeland Security Conference. You end up being able to interact with many senior federal officials and with your peers across a wide spectrum of states and local jurisdictions. I've also found the vendor area a great place to learn about new technologies that are available for adoption.

This year's event is in Tampa, Florida, June 28-30, so it is likely to be a bit warm that time of year -- but I'm sure they have air conditioning, so literally, "no sweat!"
