Conference programme
The EENA Conference 2026 programme intends to directly tackle the critical challenges currently facing emergency communications and the 112 service. In a climate defined by geopolitical uncertainty and more frequent natural disasters, a core theme is the necessity for preparedness and resilience, with sessions on maintaining operational continuity and improving response during extreme stress, even leveraging satellite communication. This focus highlights the critical need for integrating data, early warning, and implementing advanced Public Warning Systems (PWS).
The conference also addresses the urgent imperative to ensure seamless access to 112 amid the phasing out of older networks (2G/3G), with discussions on overcoming problems in communications over IMS. We will continue looking at how new technologies can benefit emergency communications, catching up with developments on Next Generation 112 and exploring applications of AI in PSAPs. Finally, future EU legislation on emergency communications will receive important attention.
