Axon Accelerate is open to all law enforcement professionals from the US and around the world. Attendees include users of both Axon and TASER products, as well as non-customers who want to learn more about how agencies are deploying this technology in their cities. The conference offers workshops, education sessions featuring industry leaders and hands-on demos with Axon products.
