The Past
The
PAvCon
event
started
in
2009
built
upon
three
successful
police
aviation
conferences
undertaken
by
the
same
team
in
earlier
years.
Since
2009
PAvCon
has
attracted
speakers
from
across
the
globe
and
subject
matter
has
included;
the
laser
threat,
high
rise
building
escape,
major
events,
surveillance,
innovation,
tactics
and
a
range
of
technical
presentations.
For
the
sake
of
continuity
of
thought,
purpose
and
execution
we
have
a
core
team
that
seeks
to
challenge
established
thinking
and
processes
in
bringing
you
a
thought
provoking
three-
days
of
discussion
and
networking.
We
are
a
team
focused
on
the
subject
of
law
enforcement
aviation.
Our
target
market
is
middle
and
lower
management
planners
and
decision
makers–
the
primary
people
who
influence
the
final
shape
of
the
purchase.

The Future
What is PAvCon Europe?
PAN/PAvCon has now morphed into PAvCon Europe. It is an association of active airborne public order support experts and specialists dedicated to the further training, information transfer thereby driving increased safety of colleagues everywhere.Training
The conference brings with it opportunities for attendees to learn from others the positive and negative aspects of areas of operation they may never have experienced or even considered, to see first-hand what new products industry is working on or considering and how other operational units deal with common problems.Expertise
Many of the attendees, both speakers and delegates, are experts in their field. For the length of the conference this knowledge is a few paces away for all attendeesNetworking
It is interacting with International colleagues, industry leaders and sales staff that is at the core of PAvCon. Contacts made on the floor of the conference and its associated commercial exhibition can be a key to future help and inspiration in the workplace for decades ahead. It is not what you know but who you know and year on year PAvCon offers the opportunity to meet many of these useful contacts.
