The event focused on showcasing tools designed to improve communication and accountability during emergencies. During the demonstration, the Green Light system was activated to illustrate how the technology can provide real-time information and situational awareness to first responders.

To further demonstrate the capabilities of the technology, the GoTo Green team conducted a live-fire exercise. Various firearms were discharged under controlled conditions, allowing visitors to witness how the system functions in real-world scenarios and observe the speed at which information is relayed to responding agencies.
