This was the first event co-hosted by these technology-oriented organizations. The E91-1 Institute not only wants to thank the Internet Caucus Advisory Committee for their work on the event but also for the participants their organization brought to the event.

E9-1-1 Institute Executive Director Gregory L. Rohde said, “Both the E9-1-1 Caucus and the Congressional Internet Caucus recognize that technology is revolutionizing emergency response. With the arrival of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and the emergence of Next Generation 9-1-1, our organizations share common interests.”
