Comms Connect returns to Melbourne in 2022

The Comms Connect exhibition and conference will be returning as a live event in Melbourne on 8-10 March 2022.

Comms Connect Melbourne 2022 will be held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on the banks of the Yarra River, only a short walk from Melbourne’s central business district and a 20-minute drive to Melbourne Airport.

The initial release of the Comms Connect Melbourne 2022 conference program features some of the region’s leading critical communications and public safety experts, covering all the hot topics facing the sector, both locally and across the globe.

Program highlights for the conference include: Microsoft’s Azure Space lead for Australia, Lynn McDonald, on how space-enabled tech will drive critical comms and 5G innovation; Resilience NSW Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons AFSM on the future of disaster management; Neal Richardson, Strategy Manager for the Public Safety Network NZ, with a panel featuring their emergency services leaders on how NZ’s new unified entity came to be; FirstNet USA CEO Ed Parkinson with a global public safety update; plus an Australian-first State of the Industry leadership panel.

The program also features case studies and technical presentations on hot industry topics such as: cybersecurity, private 5G networks, drones for critical comms and smart city infrastructure planning, alongside standards and regulatory updates.

Also featuring will be pre-conference workshops, training courses and industry ‘Town Hall’ sessions presented by ACCF/TCCA and ARCIA.

Early bird registrations for the conference and pre-conference sessions open next week and sponsorship and exhibition space is filling fast.

This event is set to celebrate a much anticipated move back to live events and the program will ensure its usual high quality of delegates and visitors.
