This International Hazardous Materials Response Teams Conference (HAZMAT) is held yearly, in the spring, and provides the latest classroom, hands-on and field trip-based training on what’s new in hazmat, covering all aspects of hazmat, including transportation, safety, WMD, gear, terrorism, mass decontamination, bioterrorism and more. The hazmat exhibit floor includes outdoor demonstrations of hazardous materials gear and equipment. The training offered at the HAZMAT Conference offers immediate, practical, and valuable information designed to ensure you successfully meet the demands of HAZMAT response in today’s challenging environment. This year Morphix Technologies represented ourselves with the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband and the TraceX Explosive detection kit. Booth 430 couldn’t have had a better time!
There were countless keynote speakers this past week. Those included members of local fire departments, subject matter experts, retired HazMat specialists, and many more.
Hazmat according to the Morphix Team
From our VP of Sales and Marketing, her favorite part of the experience was “The IAFC HazMat 2023 Conference is one of the best events to exhibit our Chameleon Detection armband. The conference is extremely well run and the attendees are exactly the audience we want to reach”. We also brought our newest team member along, her thoughts; “It was just incredible seeing all of these like-minded individuals together! We know that those we’re supporting with our product are making a difference, but the comradery was unparalleled. The show definitely exceeded my expectations. We made some great connections and hopefully met a few new customers. I can’t wait to see how the Chameleon impacts the lives of these firefighters and how their daily safety may shift.”
“It’s great…I would buy this thing with my own dang money!”
