A key part of the planning process for any size event, especially large-scale, national events is working collaboratively with various partners to ensure reliable and seamless communications. And while the possibility of myriad emergency situations can occur at a planned (or unplanned), most calls that require emergency response (or intervention) at large scale special events are medical in nature. Hear from experienced senior executives who have to build and execute on complicated incident action plans that are mult-jurisdictional, extremely large scale, and that receive national (and global) attention. Delivered in a panel discussion format, these executives will share their experience and tips for success.The stakes are high, and these professionals repeat success and high performance over and over again. During this panel session, you will learn how the partnership between the Public Safety agencies, FirstNet, Built with AT&T, and the First Responder Network Authority ensured first responders were prepared for the first-ever Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix and Super Bowl 58.

Learning Objectives:

- Gain a better understanding of the National Public Safety Broadband Network and how FirstNet is being used at large-scale events
