GOV-WORLD BUYERS GUIDE 2012

Counter Terror Expo’s inaugural U.S. event brings together the complete national counter-terror community. Federal and state agencies, Department of Defense, police and first responders join those responsible for securing the nation’s vital infrastructure in both the private and public sectors to collaborate over counter-terror efforts.

Counter Terror Expo will gather more than 150 internationally recognized experts to debate the issues we face, define operational strategies and help shape future policy. This event will touch on important issues like cyber security and electronic terrorism, emergency services, global counter-terrorism and critical national infrastructure protection.

The Expo is estimated to host more than 50,000 square feet of exhibit space and more than 200 domestic and foreign exhibitors who range in specialties and provide a variety of expertise.

The 2012 Stability, Security, Transition and Reconstruction Operations Cnference will address stability efforts through the entire spectrum. We'll look at completed operations that show successes that are being replicated in other situations, current trouble spots and what we can expect in the future.

This year's conference explores the policies, programs and practices that helped Liberia and Colombia become more stable, peaceful and prosperous states. Identifying and replicating lessons and good practices from these success stories will hopefully contribute to whole government/society approaches toward preventing and responding to crises, conflict and other enablers and drivers of instability around the world, specifically Sudan and the MENA region.
