## Reviews

### The show was great - the venue not so much  — 4/5

*By Kimberly Kelley Kapustein*

APCOs annual conference offer us the opportunity to share thought leadership through speaking opportunities and a trade show presence that allow great interaction with our potential and existing customers.
The city of Baltimore was just a bit too much city for those who were attending.  The walk from the convention center to the the hotel although short did not always feel safe.  And you would hate for anything to happen to people attending a show on your watch. People fail to see Baltimore as a big city but these are concerns if we were in Boston, NYC or Philly.  I just felt that there was an added level of concern that we should avoid in the placement of future shows.

### First Timer to APCO for FirstNet — 4.2/5
