Our agenda this year features a wide selection of presentations on issues related to the pandemic, cybersecurity, natural disasters and more. It will also feature keynote presentations on responses to ransomware attacks and support operations for the Afghan guests staying at Fort McCoy and hoping to resettle in Wisconsin.

WEM will once again be presenting Wisconsin Certified Emergency Manager certificates during the conference. In addition, we are launching three new awards this year to help recognize those who have made important contributions to emergency management. Nominations for the Service, Innovation, and Lifetime Achievement Awards can be made at https://wigcot.eventsair.com/cmspreview/2022-wem-govconf/awards.
