Sacramento, CA | September 2-5
The purpose of the Committee for the Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Workshop is to protect emergency responders and the public. The Committee aims to educate and promote safe practices for hazardous materials incidents, covering inspection, response, intervention, mitigation, and investigation. This is primarily achieved through the annual “Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Workshop.”
Continuing Challenge serves as a central hub for knowledge dissemination, practical skills enhancement, and the fostering of crucial networking opportunities among professionals in the field. The workshop provides a platform for in-depth discussions on emerging threats, the latest technological advancements in detection and containment, and best practices refined through real-world experiences.
Look for 908 Devices in the Exhibit Hall at Booth 22.
We give attendees first hand exposure to our latest advancements in field-portable chemical and threat detection technologies.
