DomesticPreparedness.com WebConference Presents Bio-Agent Detection, Keynote Speaker Dr. Peter Estacio, Department of Homeland Security

The IMR Group, publishers of www.DomesticPreparedness.com, an online portal, serving professional First Responder and Homeland Security communities since 1998, announces a new channel-WebConference. A unique concept -- presented "as-if" live, where attendees can gain valuable technical information, any time, selecting presentations in any order -- whole or in part -- over and over again, without having to leave the office, firehouse, police station or armory. Each WebConference is archived for a full year, and there is no charge to qualified professionals to attend after they register.

BIO-AGENT DETECTORS is the first in a series that will provide expert information on the Homeland Security technology sector that poses the greatest challenge to local first responders, state emergency management and Federal security agencies.

John F. Morton, Director of Conferences for King Communications, hosts the conference.

Each presentation is about a 15-minute PowerPoint(TM) with audio narration.

Dr. Peter Estacio of the Department of Homeland Security opens the discussion with an overview of the DHS roadmap for bio-detection.

To-the-point, in-depth technology presentations follow from:

--  Smiths Detection
--  Idaho Technology
--  GenPrime
--  Response Biomedical Corp.
    

Finally, Peter Kant of Jefferson Consulting Group concludes with a discussion of acquisition strategies for bio-detectors -- how procurement authorities can team with industry to get the funding to meet their bio-detection requirements.

The next in the series will be "Dealing With A Dirty Bomb," available in November 2004.

Please feel free to attend the first DomesticPreparedness.com WebConference and kindly forward this message to other professionals that may be interested in this important presentation.
