About British APCO - The Annual Exhibition and Development Sessions

The Event:

Now in its 14th year, this is the leading European multi-agency forum for all professionals in:

-Mission critical communications

-Civil contingency response

-Business continuity

-Business transformation management

-Outsourcing management

-Emergency information and data management

and 2012 sees some major changes to take the industry forward....

Formerly run at the Business Design Centre in London under the BAPCO banner (British Association of Public Safety Communications Officials), the new designation of British APCO reflects developments among the APCO Global Alliance members (Britain, America, Canada and Australasia). British APCO has a fresh new agenda to drive knowledge exchange and future systems harmonisation. This event offers a unique platform for local and global technologies and applications, and a forum to explore the most pressing themes for the industry.

The exhibition caters for all platforms and applications, from existing Tetra technologies, to newer providers of LTE, 4G broadband applications and services, smart asset and people management with RFID, and more, maximising mobile functionality for frontline service providers. A new dedicated social media zone, features the latest use of text, GIS technologies and broadband apps to support public safety communications in every context, both between responders, and public-facing.
