Our Annual Series of Events
British APCO hosts the leading events in the public safety critical communications sector. There are now three events in BAPCO's series of events - all delivering essential information and opportunities to delegates, but each with its own focus.
The largest event is BAPCO's Annual Exhibition and Conference (the BAPCO Show) now in its 25th year. This event attracts over 40 exhibitors and 800+ delegates each year.
The BAPCO Satellite Series has been created to incorporate all of British APCO’s events outside of the Annual Exhibition and Conference. In 2018, there are two confirmed editions of the series:
The BAPCO Satellite Series - Edinburgh will take place once again in Edinburgh on the 13th and 14th of June 2018. This event is aimed at including those public safety members, users and suppliers who are not members of the traditional three blue light services, alongside the regular emergency services attendees. Themes this year are expected to include an update on ESN, Search and Rescue Communications, The Airwave Service and Air to Ground Working.
The BAPCO Satellite Series - Newcastle which will return to St. James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne on the 7th and 8th November 2018. Attracting over 400 delegates and 29 exhibitors, this event is more intimate than the Annual Conference and the emphasis is on the conference programme with keynote sessions and seminars with leading industry figures.
Here is what Motorola Solutions, one of our Platinum Corporate Partners, says about our events:
"British APCO continues to be THE forum for public safety and civil contingencies communications engagement. As we look towards the rollout of ESN the role that BAPCO events play in providing a place to exchange information, ideas and experiences is increasingly important. Motorola Solutions is at the heart of the upcoming changes with our responsibility for not only the Airwave network, but also the introduction of the ESN. As a result, we feel our support of the events is key to maintaining a close association with all users of mission-critical communications in this country.
Motorola Solutions chooses to sponsor the BAPCO events as we believe it is a positive marketing tool, providing us with increased brand awareness and presence beyond a standalone exhibition package."
