NVFC TRAINING SUMMIT

Expanded event combines the NVFC’s two signature conferences, the Health & Safety Training Summit and the R&R Experience


EVENT OVERVIEW

WHEN: Friday, June 23 – Saturday, June 24, 2023


WHERE: Sheraton Oklahoma City Downtown Hotel | Oklahoma City, OK


PURPOSE: This event will provide an opportunity to participate in valuable classroom training and share ideas and best practices with emergency responders from across the U.S. Attendees will have their choice of breakout sessions to attend, with sessions addressing key topics in first responder health, safety, recruitment, and retention. The event will also feature keynote speakers, general sessions, networking events, and a vendor expo. This expanded Training Summit incorporates the NVFC’s Recruitment & Retention Experience, previously offered as a separate event, to allow more first responders the opportunity to take advantage of courses on a variety of topics. The Summit is an excellent value! View an investment vs. value breakdown here.
