About This Conference

Threats to our homeland and our infrastructure are constantly evolving. As we develop and implement strategies and systems to address the threats of today, terrorists are planning the threats of tomorrow. Although much of our attention has historically been focused on physical and explosive threats, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats have recently come to the forefront of the homeland security discussion. This evolving threat impacts every aspect of our homeland security - from the size and placement of our vaccine stockpiles, to the development of our disaster recovery plans, to the daily operations of the postal service, to the type of protective equipment an emergency responder requires when entering a scene, to the type of filters required in a building in downtown Washington, D.C. Government and industry continue to grapple with how to address this complex threat due to the uncertainty associated with the risk - we know the impact of a significant CBRN event would be devastating, but what is the actual probability of such an event? The CBRN threat continues to transform the way in which we must think about protecting our homeland. Effective security requires a coordinated effort among stakeholders to leverage resources and expertise in order to achieve synergies in managing the CBRN threat.

The Managing Today's Threats to Homeland Security Conference is specifically designed to give the attendees a quick snapshot of how Government and industry are addressing the CBRN threat – from policy decisions all the way to recent research and technology development. Our speakers, who are leaders in their fields in government and private sector, will address important issues such as national CBRN strategies, lessons learned on protection and recovery efforts, new technology on the horizon, and opportunities on how to help support this vital national security endeavor.
