If you cannot attend the conference there is still a chance to bid for the mask, buy yourself some unique memorabilia (no other copies of these masks exist) and do some good for charity. If you want to place a bid 'on the books,’ so that we place your bid against the bidding in the room, then email before the 30th of October with your details. With nearly a month to go more than 500 people, from 19 countries, have registered for CBRNe Convergence and with nearly 100 exhibitors it is the premiere international CBRNE event in the US in 2012.
