JOIN NENA IN PITTSBURGH JUNE 10-15
and help us celebrate our 25th year. Learn from
our leaders on lessons from our past even
as we ready ourselves for the challenges
of the future. We’ve all heard of the coming
technological revolution in communications and the IP-enabled 9-1-1
center, but what does that really mean to the manager and telecommunicator,
in terms of operations, staffing,
training and funding? We’ll answer all these questions, not only with
courses and sessions, but a specially
created “PSAP of the future” in the exhibit hall.
 
OUR 25TH
CONFERENCE is one you’ll not want to
miss—full of innovative educational sessions, a spectacular exhibit hall,
and special events honoring our past and celebrating our future.
PITTSBURGH A City
to Discover! In the past decade Pittsburgh has emerged as a world leader in
high technology, medicine and education. With its stunning new convention
center, new homes for the Pirates and Steelers, and a thriving cultural
center that can rival any in the U.S., Pittsburgh offers an enormous number
of activities and attractions for everyone. The nation’s largest inland
port, Pittsburgh boasts scenic views of its famous three rivers and skyline.
THE DAVID L. LAWRENCE CONVENTION CENTER
The new David L. Lawrence Convention Center is a
stunning, state-of-the-art facility that features breathtaking views of the
North Shore and Downtown Pittsburgh from the concourses, terraces and
balconies located throughout the structure. The world’s largest “green”
building, the Center utilizes natural daylight and ventilation to light and
heat the building, and incorporates a water reclamation system.
Special thanks to this year's
sponsors!
