Registration opens May 8, 2025
If there is something we can count on, it’s emergency preparedness professionals planning ahead. After all, it’s your business to be prepared.
Here’s something to put on your calendar – the 2025 Disaster Planning Conference returns to Sacramento September 9-10.
While we’ve got great agenda ideas in the hopper, there are a few things we already know about this conference:
- Loyalty pricing for those who attended last year is back. More on that later.
- We return to the renovated Sacramento Convention Center.
- The format will be hybrid again this year – both virtual and in-person.
This continues to be a nationwide premier event for emergency preparedness professionals. Please plan to join us in September. The weather will be perfect, and the agenda will not disappoint.
Tuition fees are for in-person or livestream.
Note: Livestreaming includes all keynote and general sessions plus select breakout sessions.
