Hello SATIS Technical Committee, 

Please take a few minutes to review the Consolidated wish list that was uploaded a few weeks ago, as the meeting will largely be on this topic. 

Jacob Westfall reported that the OASIS Open Emergency Management Technical Committee (EMTC) booth at the 2024 International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) Annual Conference Nov. 15-21 2024 in Colorado Springs, Colorado was set up with banners and handouts on the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL).   Jacob, Chair of EM CAP TC, noted that the focus of our participation for 2024 was the 20th anniversary of CAP. The booth also had party hats and pins available that were very popular.

The audience for this conference was fairly regional to Colorado and western States, with more government and military attendees than previous years.  Jacob did notice there were more alerting devices and hands-on demos this year compared to previous years.  In addition to speaking to those who stopped by the booth, Jacob also visited every exhibitor who uses CAP in their products and services to take a "birthday" photo with them to promote their use of the CAP standard. A selection of those exhibitors is shown in the photos that follow.
