The Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) has changed the date of the 34th Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Symposium and Dinner. Originally scheduled for April 24-25, 2024, the program has been rescheduled for April 29-30, 2024.
CFSI changed the date so we could conduct our program while Congress is in session. While CFSI selects the dates for the program five years out due to the demand for venues in the spring months, Congress releases the congressional calendar shortly before the start of a new legislative session. Unfortunately, the schedule recently released for 2024 has Congress out of session the week of our program.
Each year, we aim to make the trip to Washington, DC a positive experience for all our guests. The date change presents additional opportunities for us to enhance the program. Whereas in the past, the Dinner took place on Day 2, it will now take place on the first day (April 29), as will the seminar program. We will focus Day 2 (April 30) on Capitol Hill activities to maximize the fire service presence in Washington, DC, and send a strong message to our federal legislators about the political force of our nation’s fire and emergency services.
We will open registration on our website Friday, January 5. The hotel block will be open early next week. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].
