The Fifth Canadian Public Safety Interoperability Workshop aims to again bring together a broad base of public safety and emergency management practitioners to develop a mutual understanding of the key voice and data interoperability issues facing today’s public safety sector. With a focus on information exchange, topic-specific practices and experience, and the development of a more unified approach to public safety interoperability across the country, between nations, and internationally. workshop website

Tips for Going to a Conference:
- Come prepared. Be sure you have a notepad and paper so that you can take personal notes in sessions you are not scribing for.
- Treat it as a potential job interview. You will be meeting people who you may be looking to for jobs in the near future. Bring resumes and business cards (contact shannansaunders@gmail.com for information and tips on inexpensive and professional cards).
- Dress the part. You are representing IAEM Canada and the Student Region as well as yourself. Dress is business casual which means no jeans, no hats, no logos gestures or other graphic images. You will leave an impression on those you network with and you want it to be a good one!
- Included in your registration is some breakfasts and lunches as well as networking receptions. Be prepared, however, to purchase meals that are not provided or that better fit your dietary requirements.
