Subject: RE: [emergency-adopt-events] Emergency Interoperability Summit at the NIEM Traing Events -- Update
Jane, Thanks for all your work with NIEM people on this option. It appears that the only presentations we would have with this
schedule is during breaks or meals. That does not appear to give us much
of an attentive audience; most conference attendees use the break periods for
talking in the hallways or on their cell phones. Can we have a separate add-on day and one day of overlap?
Could we start our sessions on Tue, 29 Sep, and continue with demos on 30th? Best regards, Patrick Gannon President & COO Warning Systems, Inc. +1 256 880 8702 x104 (office) +1 256 468 4055 (mobile) +1 978 458 7478 (home-office) From: Jane Harnad
[mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Dear Committee
Members, As you all know,
I’ve been working over the last few days on integrating our Emergency
Interoperability Summit into the large NIEM training event in Baltimore,
Maryland. I held several conference calls with various people discussing
the best scenario that provides us the most visibility. Given the size of
the NIEM event, you can image that is no easy task. Please find the
current NIEM event program for review: http://www.iir.com/registration/niem/pdf/Master.pdf
. Please note: The NIEM event structure includes six presentation
tracks over three-four days. Key to our success at
this event will be our interoperability demonstrations. Donna Roy (with
DHS) expressed much interest in this aspect. In addition, NIEM
isn’t planning to hold interoperability demonstrations or exhibits at
this particular event. We would be the only ones – giving us a leg
up. Therefore, we feel that our best option will be to focus not as much
on presentations, but on the interoperability demonstrations themselves. Below and attached is
an outline of an option we would like the committee to consider. Please
review all the information and let me know if it might be possible to hold a
quick special call this week to discuss it further. Thanks in advance,
Jane Emergency
