On behalf of the Texas NENA Board, I would like to invite you to the 2008 Annual Conference and Telecommunicator Awards August 25-27, 2008 at the Doubletree Hotel in Austin, Texas. 

Make plans now to attend one of the largest NENA Chapter conferences in the nation.  The TX-NENA conference provides 9-1-1 professionals from across the state high quality educational sessions, the latest in equipment and technology and great networking opportunities.  Last years’ conference provided the 550 attendees more than 35 educational sessions to choose from and an exhibit hall with over 40 vendors showcasing the latest in 9-1-1 equipment, services and products. 

Grab your beachwear, flip flops and shades and join us in “Plotting the Course for 9-1-1”.
