By attending this session, you'll learn from the best and get the facts. You'll learn how wireless alerting works, best practices and lessons learned, and what's being done to expand wireless alerting around the world. Alert origination and technical experts will provide you with applicable knowledge and answer the questions you were afraid to ask. This course, sponsored by Oasis Management Group, will be held 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 and will include lunch.
