Our annual summer conference is intended for head of department Fire Chiefs, Chief Officers and any Fire Service professionals who currently hold or wish to pursue a career in leadership. The educational program is structured as all general sessions, bringing together executive and management level discussions as well as topics at the forefront of concern. This program aims to give the participants a more expansive view of Fire Service issues and their role as leaders to influence the future of their department and the industry as a whole.
Full registration to the conference includes access to various networking events and a guest pass for a spouse/partner. In an industry so close knit and where relationships matter, this event fosters the concept of the "fire family" and encourages participants to connect and share ideas with one another so together, we can make the Fire Service better than we left it.
The vendor opportunity at this event is through sponsorship and a limited vendor showcase of cocktail rounds with only informational material/giveaways permitted to give all vendors equal representation.

The Executive Development Conference Silent Auction is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Foundation. Proceeds from the auction go to support the mission of the foundation, such as the Firefighter/EMT Scholarship for at risk and economically disadvantaged candidates, educational grants for current Fire Service professionals seeking professional development, and to offset the individual costs for the Fire Cadet Section.
Donations in the form of items, collectables, gift cards, event tickets or vacation vouchers are essential to the success of our auction – the greater the incentive, the more funds we are able to raise. One hundred percent of proceeds goes to programs that support and grow the men and women who serve and protect our communities. We would be humbly grateful and appreciative if you are able to contribute to our next campaign. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
