The New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Conference has expanded
greatly over the past several years. We have tried to enhance
our program to best serve the needs of New Jersey’s
Emergency Managers and our private partners in the emergency
management community. Our commitment is to present timely
and informative, up-to-date preparedness information and training
to better prepare Emergency Managers and ultimately the public
we serve. The following is a quick overview of some of the
opportunities available at the conference. Please review the
rest of the site for more detailed information on what is
available.
Cost of the conference will be $75 until Tuesday, April 15, 2008 then
$100 until Tuesday, April 29, 2008. On site registration will be $125.
Pre-conference Training
A variety of training opportunities are available to emergency
responders, both public and private, to enhance response capabilities.
These classes cover a wide range of topics and we attempt
to present offerings in multiple disciplines. All classes
receive certification and CEUs may be available.
These programs are offered as part of the conference registration
fee but class sizes are limited and only available on a first
come first serve basis. Registration confirmation is required
to attend.

Conference Program
The two-day conference program incorporates general sessions
and smaller group breakout sessions.
The general sessions feature regionally and nationally recognized
experts who present information related to the conference
theme as well as on topics relevant to today’s Emergency
Managers.
Breakouts sessions are incorporated to enhance and emphasize,
in a smaller group format, specific emergency management programs
and objectives. These smaller sessions allow for close interaction
with State and regional experts. Once again, a variety of
topic tracks are offered to cover many aspects of emergency
preparedness.

Networking and Partnership Building
With the conference focusing on the local emergency manager,
there are many opportunities for interaction with counterparts
in the field. This forum is intended to bring New Jersey’s
emergency management professionals, career and volunteer,
together to exchange ideas and information. There are many
opportunities during training for formal interaction as well
as scheduled social sessions to mix and mingle and share ideas.
NJEPA also hosts a golf outing,
at one of the local clubs, to further interact as you are
battling your way through the links.
Exhibits and Displays
A large display area has been developed with over 100 exhibit
spaces at the Tropicana. This area is strictly reserved for
organizations and companies that provide equipment, supplies
and services to support emergency management. Many of our
corporate sponsors are also available in this area to discuss
programs and opportunities that they offer. The exhibit
hall also serves as the focal point of the conference activities. Click here to see who’s coming this year.

as well as enhance you professionally.
We hope to see you in Atlantic City this year. |
