You're Invited!
As the president of Georgia APCO, I invite you to attend the Emerging Technology Forum being held November 17-18 in Atlanta. I think you'll find that the opportunity to get caught up on the very latest developments impacting public safety communications professionals, and earn up to 12 CEUs, makes it well worth the trip. But the icing on the cake is being in this beautiful and energetic city, where you can take advantage of our wide variety of attractions - museums, musical entertainment, sporting venues, parks and restaurants – and you won't even need your winter coat! Debbie Vance, President, APCO Georgia TOP THINGS TO DO IN ATLANTA The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta's premiere venues for live entertainment.
