Conference and Expo

March 4th and 5th, 2013 - Columbus Ohio - Home of The Ohio State University

This event is one of the most popular, and highest rated conferences of its kind in the world.

Leaders in Higher Education Safety!

We are the "Affordable Conference!"

This annual conference provides over 30 educational workshops, presented by the nation’s leading fire safety, security and risk management professionals. This is the only international conference focusing exclusively on Campus Fire Safety, Security, & Risk Management. Most of the educational facilities in this country are small colleges & universities. Greek representatives, and k-12 school district staff wear “many hats” . We focus this annual event on bringing you as much education and training related to all of these areas so you can receive the “best value for your training dollar”.

This is a truly international conference. In March 2012; we hosted over 200 people from from 33 states and 3 countries.

The purpose of this annual event is to provide high-quality education, technology and networking opportunities for campus fire safety and other related responsibilities. Our multiple day, multiple track format offers a self-directed, facilitated learning environment with education sessions, interactive forums, and extensive vendor & technology exhibition.

Special - State of Ohio Campus Meeting with the Ohio Board of Regents. This two hour event will provide an opportunity for Colleges, Universities and Campuses of Ohio get together to discuss those issues affecting their campus. Meet campus safety professions from around the State and develop networking relationships 'right next door'. Members of the fire service with colleges and Universities are encouraged to attend as well. Meet the State Fire Marshal and other Key officials.....

Here are some comments about the quality of our programs

This was my first year, I was impressed. Campus fire safety is a narrow, niche field and making a relevant conference, I imagine, is a challenge. That challenge is also what makes it so important. In our comparatively small industry, the networking, vendor validity, and conference content is so important because our unique needs would be marginalized in a larger, more broad setting. Thank you, again. I hope to see you again in 2013. - Deputy Chief Michael Makuch, University of Connecticut Fire Department.

I would like to comment on the annual expos. I have been able to attend the 2011 and 2012 events. I’ve been in the facility operations, management, maintenance, and property loss prevention for almost 30 years. In that time I’ve been to many conferences, expos, training courses and worked with property loss companies like Factory Mutual, Marsh and others. The quality of the Campus Fire Safety Annual Conference and Expo is one of the best I’ve ever attended. It’s not the biggest, and it’s not in an exotic location. However, it is one of the best I’ve ever been part of. It is well run, well received, relevant, useful with a broad range of topics, and it’s very interesting. The vendors are top rate and appropriate for the audience. - Cris Wadham, Plant Operations and Maintenance, Wright State University
