CBRNe Convergence 2023 - Knoxville
7-9 November 2023
I’ll need a volunteer!
2023 sees us back in the great state of Tennessee! 2019’s Nashville event was a crowd favourite, and this year will see us move from the home of country music to the home of radiation detection – Knoxville! Knoxville is the host city to the world famous Oak Ridge National Laboratory/Y12 facilities, and we’ll be bringing chemical and biological defence to match their nuclear excellence!
This will be our traditional two day conference and exhibition, with streamed sessions to allow delegates to choose their learning path. We’re also planning on two pre-event workshops, more information will be announced soon, but one will be on ‘Improved radiological response.’
The exhibition already promises to be the largest in the US in 2023, with space for over 70 vendors, covering all aspects of CBRN response. As usual the programme has some of the most knowledgeable CBRN speakers from around the world, more niformation on which can be found on the speakers page.
We are excited to be working with the Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center (ORETTC) for our pre conference workshop this year. Workshop attendees will have the rare opportunity to visit the Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center (ORETTC)—part of NNSA’s Y-12 National Security Complex. This is usually closed to international visitors, but CBRNe Convergence has negotiated a chance to be educated by some of the best rad/nuke professionals worldwide!
Delegates will learn about some of the latest radiological/nuclear response training methods and techniques being used in the newly-opened, state- of-the-art Emergency Response Training Facility (ERTF) on the ORETTC campus. The $15.1M facility enables the development of innovative approaches for emerging technological challenges and risk mitigation for critical infrastructure. ERTF provides local, state, national, and international organizations and government agencies with access to hands-on experience in high-consequence operations, emergency management, state-of-the-
art technology, training evaluation and performance testing, and other advanced technical and tactical training areas.
Attendees will meet at the Marriott hotel for transport to the venue. It is highly recommended that delegates DO NOT go there in their own vehicles and there is no public transport to the location. On arrival delegates will be split into three groups, and each group will alternate through three learning sessions throughout the afternoon. The sessions will include an ORETTC campus and programmatic overviews, augmented reality/virtual reality immersive technique demonstrations, and a virtual production training demonstration that combines ORETTC’s 9-by-45-ft LED wall with green screen technology for a realistic training experience.
