CBRNe Convergence 2026

The 2026 event takes place at Knoxville Convention Centre in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The stated audience includes responders, military personnel, experts, practitioners, researchers, and technology providers.

It is most useful for emergency responders, military personnel and CBRN practitioners, since the program covers emerging threats, lessons from real incidents and command and coordination practice, and the location is close to Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y-12 National Security Complex. Buyers outside the response community, or those seeking policy-level strategy, would get less from it, as the mix is practitioners, researchers and technology providers focused on equipment and techniques.

Attendees at CBRN and emergency response conferences usually wear business casual, with many responders and military personnel in uniform or branded polos, and comfortable shoes for the exhibit hall.
