Control rooms are very much the entry, evaluation and decision-making point in the management of many and varied critical operations. However, these centres of excellence must continue to evolve as the world changes around them. In recent years we have heard a lot about closer collaboration and integration of city- or region-wide service providers to deliver Smart or Safe Cities. So, how do you go about designing a new critical control room? The Control Rooms Summit will explore the way these facilities are changing and how the control room community must work together to deliver appropriate and outstanding new models.

Key areas that will be addressed include: defining the scope of operations; considering the location, sizing and essential components of the facility; ergonomics and human factors; bringing the essential information to the critical control room; and affecting command and control from the facility (primary systems and mobility strategy).

Delegates will hear from high-level speakers including Jan Petter Lie, President, Europe, Cyviz; José Manuel García Prieto, Marketing & Communication Manager at Gesab; and Alvin Chan, Executive Director, Calsius Solutions.

Control Rooms Summit 2022 takes place from 10:30-14:30 on 1 February 2022 at the Fira de Barcelona and tickets are available here: Control Rooms Summit ISE. It is part of a rich programme of seven conferences taking place from Monday 31 January through to Friday 4 February.
