The 2024 California APCO Annual State Conference is being hosted by the Northern and Southern California Chapters of APCO International. This Conference is sure to attract members from the entire Country; especially those in the Western Region and the States of California, Nevada, and Arizona. With the next several APCO International Conferences being held East of the Mississippi in Orlando in 2024, Baltimore in 2025, and then San Antonio in 2026, this Annual Conference will provide the best opportunity to connect with public safety communications professionals on the West Coast.

A Schedule Focused on Having Quality Exclusive Exhibitor Opportunities

In an effort to host a quality event and to maximize participation, the conference organizing committee has planned for 8 hours of exclusive Exhibit Hall time with plans to provide lunches both days to those with full conference passes.
