The CPSE Excellence Conference brings the most inquisitive and progressive minds in the fire and emergency service together for three and a-half-days to advance agency accreditation, promote professional credentialing, and encourage continuous improvement.

What to Expect:

Education – Over 75 sessions to choose from covering the following topics: Accreditation, Credentialing, Leadership and Management, Innovation Through Technology, Health and Safety, and Community Risk Reduction.

Exhibit Hall – Explore products and services displayed by industry-relevant companies.

Networking Opportunities – Make the most of your time at the Excellence Conference by connecting with like-minded professionals to learn from their successes and experiences improving their departments and themselves.

CFAI Hearings – Observe agencies presenting themselves for accreditation by the Commission. You’ll have the opportunity to listen to the deliberations of the Commission and the peer team leader present the recommendations and findings of the team.
