Jane,

Attached is the Emergency Track spreadsheet for Connectivity Week.  I edited
the abstract for Session 3, so hopefully this will enable us to move forward
with recruiting speakers for that session.

Importance: High


Hello Adoption Committee Members,

Per our last conversation, please find a list of Emergency Management events
below for your review.  Feel free to provide feedback.  Regards, Jane 


1.)  ConnectivityWeek - OASIS Blue Track on Emergency Management
http://www.connectivityweek.com/2009/#home

Organizers/Host - Hosted by Clasma; organized by OASIS

Date - June 8-11, 2009

Location - Santa Clara  Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA

Format - a one-day track with three sessions lasting between 1.5 & 2 hours
(schedule is attached) 

Session Coordination - OASIS (with the help of the Emergency Adoption
Committee) is responsible for confirming the session descriptions (due by
3/27) and speakers (speakers to be confirmed by 4/11).  Clasma will
coordinate the speakers once they've confirmed. 

Attendee Demographics - ConnectivityWeek was designed for... . Federal,
state & local government planners / regulators . Technology companies and
executives . Facility owners and managers .
Venture and investment companies . Developers of commercial and residential
projects . Energy and smart grid stakeholders . Managers and executives of
utility companies . Integrators and consultants . Equipment and technology
vendors . Press, media and analysts . University students and professors


2.) Emergency Management Event Proposal.

Organizers/Host - Hosted by "TBD"; organized by OASIS 

Date - September 21-22 was proposed. This date would make sure the event is
far enough away from competing event such as: NEMA and IAEM, as well as the
proposed OASIS Security event at NIST (week of September 27th).

Location - It would be ideal to have an OASIS member organization host the
event to save costs - such as DHS. If that scenario doesn't work out, we
would look into renting space at an area hotel in Crystal City. Crystal City
is a good option because it's close to the metro and area airport, as well
as can be much cheaper than renting space in downtown DC. 

Format - A two-day forum featuring presentations from all our Emergency
Management technical committees, as well as an interOp demonstration
component. The Committee mentioned that it would be preferred to have the
interOp demonstrations weaved into the overall program schedule - rather
than having it as a competing component.

Who Should Attend? It was mentioned that invitations should be sent to DHS,
DOT, DOD and other related agencies - as well as Congressional
Representatives. The thought was that we should expect between 150-250
guests; however, space at a facility may dictate a different number. 

Registration - If the event is held at DHS, we believe it will be a free
event. This might change if we move to a hotel or outsource venue, where
additional costs will be associated. This will ultimately be determined when
we decide on a location. Funding will need to be determined at that time
(via registration fees, sponsorship fees, member section funding, etc..).


3.) NEMA - OASIS Emergency Management Workshop
http://www.nemaweb.org/?2068

Organizer/Host - Hosted by NEMA; organized jointly by OASIS and NEMA

Date - the event dates are October 10-13, actual workshop date would be
determined

Location - Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio

Format - It was mentioned that a roundtable workshop format was desired;
with an interest to not only include our standards perspective, but also
maybe the new DHS initiative and online networking groups like Twitter and
Face book.

Attendance Demographics - NEMA conferences is varied but represents all
areas of the emergency management profession.  State emergency management
directors, executive staff, local emergency managers, corporations,
organizations, and academia comprise the attendance. 

Workshop Coordination - OASIS is responsible for drafting a workshop
proposal for NEMA's review.  The deadline given to submit the proposal is
4/6. 


4.) IAEM - OASIS Emergency Management Interoperability Demonstration &
Conference Sessions http://www.iaem.com/events/annual/intro.htm

Organizer/Host - Hosted by IAEM; organized by OASIS

Date - The event dates are 31 October-5 November 2009, actual interop demo
and conference session dates would need to be determined  

Location - Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida

Format - to be determined

Attendance Demographics - the people attending this event include emergency
managers, homeland security officials, first response coordinators, private
industry risk managers or contingency planners

Next Step - Jane Harnad to follow up with IAEM to confirm the details and
options
