The National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) will be held at the SECRET//NOFORN level. Attendees must be a U.S. citizen and possess a FINAL SECRET clearance in order to attend. Visit requests will be required. More information will be posted in the coming weeks about this.
Badges will be issued once you have met the security guidelines and have produced one of the following photo identifications on site:
Please email a JPG file (150 dpi minimum) of your photo for your Symposium badge to Ms. Sherry Johnson, sjohnson@blue52productions.com. Photos taken onsite will incur a $20 fee. To avoid this charge, send your JPG photo file in advance or upload online when registering!
No electronic devices will be allowed into the technical sessions. This includes, but is not limited to, incoming and outgoing pagers or beepers, cell phones, palm pilots, blackberry, audio/visual recording devices, fitness trackers such as Fitbits, and photographic equipment. Briefcases, purses and planners are also prohibited. It is recommended that you leave these items in your car or in your hotel room. If you do bring these items, Symposium coordinators will collect them before you enter the auditorium and you may pick them up upon exiting. The symposium will not be liable for lost or damaged items.
Notetaking in the technical sessions is prohibited except in the NFCS notebooks that will be provided on-site. When leaving the auditorium, you must turn the notebook back in to the security staff. All notebooks will be shipped to attendees at the close of the Symposium.
