Join your customers, colleagues and counterparts at the first west coast program dedicated to all things response boats. From Department of Defense to Department of Homeland Security to police, fire, and EMS.
Exciting and Impactful Agenda In Store for 2023
For 2023, we have designed the agenda to be impactful, informative and interactive, culminating in actionable knowledge, initiatives and meaningful action.
Here is just a few of the new features:
Work Groups: RBX will be hosting a series of work groups throughout the program designed to bring groups of our participants together to discuss critical topics and provide recommendations and ideas. A facilitator will lead the discussion and make notes of the findings which they will share (attributed or anonymous) to the entire program at the end of the last day. These findings will also be distributed to all participants after the program to share with their colleagues and leadership after the program. These work groups and findings will help drive the mission of the Response Boat Expo and Conference to lead and impact the response boat community in a positive and impactful way.
Advancement in Boat Technology, Design and Materials Presentation: These sessions will showcase the latest and greatest the response boat industry have to offer. There will be up to 8 presentations by our best in class exhibitors allowing solutions and product providers to inform and engage with potential end users.
More On-water Demonstration Opportunities: All participants will have an opportunity to demo the latest and greatest vessels the industry has to offer on all three days of the program with a dedicated demo day on August 14 and shuttles to the Marina on August 15 and 16.
Benefits of co-location Maritime Security West: Joining the two program will allow attendees access to more sessions that has wider application to their missions as maritime responders and operators. For exhibitors, the co-location will allow exhibitors to meet more of their target audience in one place.
