WELCOME TO THE BAPCO ANNUAL EVENT
The BAPCO Annual Event unites the UK's public safety community – where emergency services experts, technology innovators, and decision-makers connect to shape the future of emergency response.
Organised by British APCO, a charity-status association founded and governed by serving emergency services professionals since 1993, we exist to improve emergency services communications and technology for everybody's benefit. As a registered charity, we're independent and user-led, with a community built on real operational experience and shared expertise.
For 2026, we've established a new Advisory Board of emergency services professionals to shape every aspect of the event. From purpose-built zones and enhanced learning opportunities to new networking initiatives and CPD-accredited sessions, BAPCO 2026 represents the evolution of your community's event – built by emergency services, for emergency services.
