Our 5th annual CBRNe Summit USA will be coming to Los Angeles, California on the 7th - 9th October 2025. This event brings together leading officials from the military, civil and scientific agencies to provide you will a full perspective on all CBRNe threats and challenges.
Over the 2-day conference and exhibition you will hear different perspectives from civil, military, and scientific officials on the latest CBRNe trends and operational challenges being faced to their agency.
Los Angeles is preparing themselves as a host city of the FIFA Soccer World Cup in 2026 with Los Angeles hosting the first game in the United States. It will also be the host city of the Olympics in 2028. With the two large upcoming international events taking place in Los Angeles there is a greater focus on the CBRNe threats that local first responder agencies will have to respond to.
Another key area the event will discuss is surveillance/monitoring of around stadiums and in downtown fan zones. It is pivotal for law enforcement agencies to monitor key areas within cities to identify potential CBRNe threats and to respond quickly and efficiently to stop a mass casualty incident.
On the 3rd day of the event the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department will demonstrate their CBRNe capabilities and how they communicate and collaborate together when responding to a CBRNe incident.
