IAFE Management Conference
April 23-26, 2012
Des Moines Marriott Downtown
Des Moines, Iowa

This conference will feature an intense focus on crisis management.

• We will hear speakers from the Department of Homeland Security and Top Emergency Managers
• We will review case studies
• We will break into groups for table top exercises

You will visit the Iowa State Fairgrounds, a magical place dubbed by national media as "America's Classic State Fair." See what the first foundation formed in the U.S. dedicated to revitalizing and preserving state fairground is doing to keep the fair at the top of the game.

We will stay downtown in the shadow of the gold domed capitol of one of America's leading agriculture states. This capital city is booming along with the state's agriculture economy. A $70 million river front project, eclectic restaurant district, walking and jogging trails are right out the door.
