Conferences
AFDA sponsors two premier conferences and exhibitions a year which provide information and educational opportunities for member Districts’ staff, Board of Directors, and personnel. AFDA conferences bring together national and state decision makers and experts on all facets of emergency service, from leadership and management to operations. These conferences provide educational opportunities in all areas of Fire District administration and governance with instruction on topics such as legal or financial issues, human resources, liability, fire protection, safety, etc. Continuing education opportunities are also available based on individual certification requirements. These conferences are held at various locations throughout the state.
The host hotel for the 2025 Conference will again be the the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Spa. This year’s conference features exciting general session presentations, 24 individual workshop presentations, AFDA statutory presentations, a continuation of the NextGen series, a special track for fire marshals and a 1-day seminar for the Administrative Professionals Section.
You will find the conference agenda and information on hotel room block, speakers, expo and golf tournament here.
