We begin today with the Opening General Session featuring a keynote address from Admiral William H. McRaven, USN (Ret.), in the Stars at Night Ballroom. Immediately following the General Session is the exhibit hall ribbon cutting.

So much is happening in the exhibit hall this year, including the Career Advancement Center, dog demonstrations, New Products Zone, Presentation Theater and the Network & Recharge Lounge with complimentary charging stations and an afternoon treat. As you make your way through the hall, don’t forget to complete the Expo Quest, your chance to win a full complimentary registration to next year’s conference in Anaheim, CA.

While at the Pavilion, take some time to browse the display of public safety artifacts collected by the Historical Committee and talk with staff about membership, training, certification, frequency coordination services, standards and more.
