Be the difference: Innovate, connect and inspire at this year's EENA conference 

With just a few weeks to go before the EENA Conference 2019, which takes place on April 10-12, 2019, we are excited to present the gathering point for emergency services and public safety professionals, writes Beatriz Peon.


One of the sessions of EENA2018

In sunny Dubrovnik this April, we will welcome more than 750 delegates from over 55 countries, all with a desire to learn, share ideas and improve people’s safety in Europe and beyond. For three days, we are bringing together representatives from all sectors of the emergency services field, from researchers and emergency services professionals, to solution-providers, mobile network operators and EU institution representatives…

Following the latest developments and trends in public safety worldwide, this year’s programme will highlight technological solutions and how to adapt to the future in a fast-changing environment. Not only will we hear from leading experts in the plenary sessions, we will also discuss and debate operational and technical issues with specialists from across the world.

Join us together with more than 100 high-level speakers to learn about:

The Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Artificial Intelligence and how to harness the potential of trending technology around us to save lives

We also are proud to celebrate modern-day heroes going beyond the expected to improve people’s safety.
