Subject: RE: [emergency-adoption] 2009 Emergency Management Event Opportunities
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.

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
