8th Annual
Campus Fire Safety and Risk Management
Professional Development Conference & Expo
-
in conjunction with the -
2011 Campus Fire Department Symposium
Home to the "Affordable" conference!
This annual conference provides
educational workshops, presented by some of the nation’s leading fire
safety and industry professionals
We are the only international conference focusing
exclusively on Campus Fire Safety, Security, & Risk Management. Why all
of those? Most of the educational facilities in this country are smaller
Colleges and Universities, where just a few wear “many hats” (involving
one or more of these responsibilities). We focus our annual event on
bringing you as much education and training relating to all of these
areas so you can receive the “best value for the training dollar”.
We
always have and always will continue to offer you the opportunity to
learn from and interact with professionals from around the United States and
beyond. Over
the last 8 years we have had approximately 2,000 attendees representing hundreds
of colleges & universities. This number also includes many federal, state,
and local
fire officials.
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
exhibition.
There
are no special invitations, no yearly membership dues, just a handful of
professionals donating their time to help you do your job better by;
providing the knowledge and information to help
you keep your faculty,
staff, and students safe. The facilities you represent have the
responsibility of educating our nations future. Let’s work together to keep them
safe today, so we can have a safer tomorrow.
Join
your colleagues and network with your peers from across the country and
around the world. From the educational sessions, vendor’s exhibit and
the popular Town Meeting, you’ll gain new ideas and proven techniques to
protect your campus community.
This
event holds the record for
the largest
gathering of Campus Fire & Risk Management Professionals under one roof.
We
hold our head proud when we say we have always provided the lowest pricing of any
event of this type. From the registration cost to the hotel - welcome to
