Technology Conference 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 to Friday, October 3, 2025

The CPCA Technology Conference is the next chapter in CPCA’s commitment to driving innovation in law enforcement. Formerly known as the Technology Summit, this event has been reimagined from the ground up to deliver a broader, deeper, and more dynamic experience for California’s public safety leaders. 

In previous years, our Technology Summit offered a focused, single-day program featuring a handful of key presentations. But today’s law enforcement environment demands more—more time to dig into complex topics, more space for peer collaboration, and more exposure to evolving technologies.

That’s why we’ve transformed the Summit into a 1.5-day, full-scale conference designed to meet the needs of a rapidly changing field. Here’s what’s new:

  • Expanded Content: A more robust schedule with breakout sessions, panels, and presentations covering emerging trends in public safety technology and focusing this year on AI in policing
  • Interactive Peer Engagement: Dedicated time for facilitated roundtable discussions and peer-to-peer learning that moves beyond passive listening
  • Technology Expo: An expanded expo experience featuring cutting-edge tools, platforms, and services tailored to law enforcement
  • Networking Opportunities: More built-in chances to connect with colleagues, technology partners, and innovators shaping the future of policing

Whether you’ve attended past Summits or are joining us for the first time, the CPCA Technology Conference offers a new level of insight, interaction, and inspiration.
