Operation Convergent Response (#OCR2018) is the closest you can get to real industrial and environmental disasters without actually being in a disaster, plus have the opportunity to experience technology deployments in a whole new way. Hosted at the Guardian Centers training facility in Perry, Georgia, USA, #OCR2018’s live demonstrations will show Aegex Technologies’ partners and customers how our intrinsically safe tablets and IoT sensor modules impact real-life use cases and scenarios.

From gathering live data about conditions surrounding a toxic chemical release and visualizing that data on Aegex tablets, to witnessing emergency response technicians use Aegex tablets to communicate in real time during a recovery, Aegex guests will get a first-hand look at the true power of Aegex technologies – during emergencies when every second counts.

Testing and demonstrating how Aegex products can provide critical information in dire circumstances can help Aegex partners and customers better understand their benefits for everyday industrial operations.

Connect with Exclusive Contacts and Leads

Aegex Technologies is a founding member of the OCR team, along with Verizon, Nokia and the Guardian Centers. #OCR2018 is an exclusive, four-day event will draw not only Aegex’s top customers from around the world, but also those of Verizon, Nokia and the 50 other technology partners involved. Additionally, top executives and business unit leaders from the hosts and key sponsors will be in attendance. Networking opportunities include:

• Actively taking part in disaster scenarios each day (e.g., escaping from explosion in a subway tunnel) with small groups of attendees from the public sector and private sector, including technology, energy, manufacturing and process engineering industries. No other conference can build connections and bonds like these experiences at #OCR2018!


• Participating in exciting immersive skills training experiences, such as target shooting, wall rappelling, high-speed armored vehicle driving and more.


• Attending evening receptions and other hosted events that ensure unique opportunities to engage with as many other participants as possible.

Nothing can compare with meeting potential customers face-to-face in this unique environment. Rather than a showroom floor, #OCR2018 at the Guardian Centers allows you to interact with customers and technologies together, outdoors, in immersive, realistic use case situations.

Learn from Experts, Invest in Knowledge

This year, #OCR2018 will also feature more speakers discussing relevant topics that can help build your knowledge about IoT technologies that are applicable to your customers’ situations and needs. Though centered around disaster response, subject matter experts’ presentations will be highly relevant to critical hazardous industry operations.
The conference agenda is still being finalized, but get ready for multiple choices of talk tracks including:

• Connecting Teams with IoT & Artificial Intelligence
• Managing Risk with Technology in Hazardous Environments
• Extending IoT Infrastructure to Emergency Management
• Enabling Pervasive Information Visualization
• Employing Cloud Solutions for Faster Response
• Engaging Smart City Innovation for Crisis Management
• Improving Collaboration in Critical Situations
• And more!
