Toledo Tech Events

NORED is pleased to have RIck Stein from the Urban Decision Group in Columbus Ohio as its keynote speaker for the Annual Meeting. Mr. Stein's talk is titled: The Ama-zoning of America: It's a Matter of TIME.

Amazon, Walmart and others, are in a race to deliver an ever-increasing variety of goods to consumers, which is quickening the degree to which e-commerce is increasing as a percentage of overall retail sales. At some point in the near-future, everything that consumers can purchase in stores will be available on-line for the same price or approximately the same price. That will leave only one battleground left for which these “e-tailers” will compete – the time between ordering goods and when the goods are delivered. The results of this fight over time will have physical, economic, and social impacts that will shape cities, regions, and people, for decades to come. It's the end of civilization as we know it.

The Toledo Area Alliance of InfraGard is sponsoring a tabletop exercise and would like you to participate.

A tabletop exercise involves a diverse group of government and industry professionals in an informal setting, discussing a simulated situation. The intention of this type of exercise is to stimulate discussion of various issues regarding a hypothetical situation.

The information gathered can be used to assess plans, policies, and procedures or to assess types of systems needed to guide the prevention of, response to, and recovery from a defined event. Tabletop exercises are typically aimed at facilitating an understanding of concepts, identifying strengths and shortfalls, and/or achieving a change in attitude.

Participants are encouraged to discuss issues in depth and develop decisions through slow-paced problem solving rather than the rapid, spontaneous decision making that occurs under actual or simulated emergency conditions.
