As part of the rebranding and reorganization of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association (ALEA) into the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA) that was announced during their recently completed 47th annual conference & exposition in Reno, NV, ALEA also announced that the name of their premier annual training and networking event would be changing from ALEA EXPO to APSCON. “It’s short for Airborne Public Safety Conference,” explained ALEA CEO & Executive Director Dan Schwarzbach. “We have been contemplating a new, more dynamic name that wasn’t a knock-off from another show for quite some time, and APSCON fits the bill,” Schwarzbach stated. “And while we won’t start doing business as APSA until January 1, 2018, we will start using APSCON right away.”
“I liked the sound of it the first time I heard it,” stated ALEA President Steve Roussell. “It’s a strong name that easily rolls off the tongue. I look forward to seeing everyone at APSCON 2018 in Louisville, KY,” he added.
