For the second year in a row, IWCE will be co-located with ETA International's Education Forum to offer training in popular technology areas related to ETA certification.

It brings together the industry's wired and wireless players to examine the communications technology infrastructure.

IWCE's comprehensive conference program offers five days of unparalleled professional development opportunities through keynote addresses, workshops, short courses and training. Conference tracks include FirstNet, Next Generation Networks and Systems, Spectrum and Signal Optimization, Cybersecurity and Planning and Preparation, as well as dedicated tracks for public safety, enterprise and critical infrastructure. Full conference program details will be available by the end of October.

Curtis Levinson, Cybersecurity Advisor to NATO will present the opening keynote address on March 23, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.  He will discuss threats to the critical infrastructure, including power grids and communications systems across the globe and the U.S. adversaries that are targeting with cyber attacks. He will also outline specific cybersecurity considerations for the communications-technology industry and provide practical actionable remediation—policies, procedures and technology—that can be implemented right now to help protect your valuable enterprise data and networks.

IWCE's Town Hall Meetings will return for the second year and are open to all attendees. Attendees will learn what government and association partners have been up to as they present their latest initiatives. Participating organizations include DHS's Science and Technology Directorate, DHS's Office of Emergency Communications, NPSTC and ETA. 

"Over 7,000 industry professionals and more than 370 exhibitors gather together at IWCE to learn about the latest communications technology trends.
