Terrorists Security Focus of Conference
Boston to host new organizations with international homeland security interests meeting in November
DALLAS (April 22, 2013) – The Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) has now joined as a media partner the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security scheduled for Boston in November.
The GTSC represents a growing list gathering at this year’s most important terrorist conference since first established shortly after 9/11. This annual symposium continues to gain prominent recognition for bringing together science and technology leaders from around the world. One of the highlights of last year’s conference was rapid DNA analysis revolutionizing forensics with profiles generated in ±80 minutes outside of a laboratory by non-experts, a tool police wished they had during the recent Boston Marathon bombing investigation.
This year the GTSC will be part of the Business Panel to bring market solutions. “What we really hope to accomplish is to make sure that our nation receives the best possible cutting edge technologies and innovations to protect the homeland,” said Kristina Tanasichuk, CEO of GTSC, located outside of Washington, D.C.
Tanasichuk spoke by phone from her home in northern Virginia on the ScienceNews Radio Network program aired today, the Promise of Tomorrow with Colonel Mason. The program originates in Dallas, Texas, and is now archived and Webcast for its world audience. On the program Tanasichuk said we must solve the challenges “to make sure that technology isn’t hampered, or companies aren’t hampered from bringing their technologies forward.” A photo of Tanasichuk can be seen at the related Examiner cover story here.
Vital to US and world security, the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security will be held at the Westin Waltham hotel in Waltham, Mass., USA, 12-14 November, 2013. For more information and to register, visit www.ieee-hst.org.
Last year’s conference saw representatives from nine countries including Israel, Germany, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Canada, in addition to robust American participation. In all, over 184 difference companies, universities and government agencies were represented in Boston. Sponsors included Battelle and other major organizations such as IBM Rational Software Group, L3 Systems; and the Massachusetts Port Authority where their security administration was considered as vital in protecting Boston during this month’s recent attack.
