Here are five tips to help you have a successful IWCE 2017

Here are five tips to help you have a successful IWCE 2017

Follow these five tips to help you make the most of your time and investment at IWCE 2017.
  • Written by
  • 2nd February 2017

By Nadira Ramatally, IWCE Marketing Director

Whether you’re new to IWCE or have attended before, it always helps to plan ahead and prepare for your time spent in Las Vegas. Here are a few tips to help you get the most value out of your experience at IWCE 2017:

  1. Establish your objectives and goals—What do you want to accomplish during IWCE 2017? Start by reviewing and prioritizing the education topics most important to your organization. Take time to look through the agenda prior to the conference and determine what sessions you want to attend. You can also build your agenda within the Registration Dashboard, and it will be pulled into the IWCE 2017 mobile app for you!
     
  2. Do Your Homework—With more than 380 exhibitors, it can be overwhelming once you get on the show floor. Research the exhibitors before the show, so you are familiar with their products and have questions prepared to ask. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the floor plan so you know where they are located.
     
  3. Network, Network, Network—Are you looking to bond with fellow communications technology colleagues or meet new industry peers? Be sure to attend IWCE's 40th Birthday Bash on Wednesday, March 29, at 5:30pm for FREE. Bring a stack of business cards that you can give to people you meet. Write a little note on the business cards you receive to help you remember them when you follow up.
     
  4. Download the mobile app – Put your phone to good use! The IWCE 2017 mobile app is the best tool to use in navigating your way at the show. Access your important show info, build your schedule, see what’s happening now and get real-time industry news from IWCE’s Urgent Communications. Don’t forget to allow push notifications on your device to ensure you receive important information.
     
  5. Stay Connected – Follow IWCE’s social media pages (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & YouTube) to keep abreast of important show news. It’s also a great way to connect with other attendees at the show. Join the conversation and use hashtag #IWCE2017.
     

If you haven’t registered for IWCE yet, what are you waiting for? Use promo code BLOG for 20% off your IWCE conference package or a FREE exhibit hall pass. Advanced pricing ends on Feb. 23, so register today!

P.S.—Don’t forget to subscribe to IWCE’s Urgent Communications “Live From IWCE” newsletter to get daily updates from the show.

  • LTE and liability: Why the fire service must move forward with digital incident command
    The grief following a firefighter line-of-duty death (LODD) is beyond words. Fellow firefighters are devastated. Families are shattered. In the aftermath, questions arise about the circumstances: Was the loss preventable? What was the chain of actions leading to the catastrophe? Central to these questions is the role of incident command (IC), the command’s situational awareness, […]
  • Partnership and collaboration must be the foundation for emergency communications
    I’m from a little town in West Texas. As a Texan, I like getting straight to the point: I believe that emergency communications are a matter of national security. Because this message is so important, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has designated this April as the first-ever Emergency Communications Month. At CISA, we […]
  • New anti-DJI rules could ground public-safety drone programs, IWCE speakers say
    Public-safety aerial drone initiatives provide an ever-growing level of situational awareness to first responders, but many of these programs could be undermined by rules designed to ban the use of drones from China-based DJI because of national-security concerns, according to panelists speaking at IWCE 2022. Tony Loperfido, a sergeant with the technical operations unit of […]

    As public-safety officials today commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the FirstNet Authority being created, the deployment of the FirstNet nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN) has proceeded well enough that no one needs to face a firing squad, according to former Authority board Chair Sue Swenson. “Save it for another time,” Swenson said during a recent […]
