Join First Responders from across the US & Canada for 2 1/2 days of education & fellowship.

We invite and encourage all first responders and their spouses/significant others to attend this conference. Our conference is a bit different than most conferences you will find around as we talk about some of the most serious topics affecting first responders around the world, but we do so in a fun and goofy manner. Each year we have a theme to our conference, and this year's theme is based off the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski. We encourage our attendees to dress up as their favorite Big Lebowski character. Our conference hosts will do the same. Join us for 2 1/2 days of great topics, great fellowship, and some foolishness in between at the most affordable national conference around!
