The dates for Firehouse Expo 2020 have been set for July 21–25, 2020, at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN. This will mark the fifth year the conference will be held in Nashville.
"We’re happy to be returning to Nashville in 2020,” said Greg Toritto, Firehouse vice president/group publisher. “Firehouse Expo has traditionally had excellent attendance in the summer, so we’re returning to our roots. A July event provides firefighters an opportunity to bring their families along to enjoy all the fun the Nashville region has to offer while they attend our highly respected training program and meet with the industry’s top manufacturers and suppliers."
Local partners are very supportive of Firehouse Expo and it’s move to a July date.
“The Nashville Fire Department and Davidson County are excited to welcome Firehouse Expo 2020 back to Music City,” said Nashville Fire Department Director Chief William Swann. “With the change in the date, our commitment to help this world-class event be successful remains the same. Nashville is the host city, but departments from across Middle Tennessee all work closely together to help Firehouse Expo come together to enrich the training fire service professionals receive during this event.”
Endeavor Business Media has restructured and bolstered its events team in recent months in order to better meet the needs of its exhibitors and attendees. Significant investment in the educational program, operations, marketing and sales resources, as well as the addition of proven and experienced leaders in those areas, will help Firehouse meet its goals to grow the event and create an excellent customer experience for attendees and exhibitors alike.
As part of the event’s growth, the exhibit hall will continue to evolve, including the addition of more educational sessions directly from the manufacturers, whose equipment attendees use to protect and serve their communities every day. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with the manufacturers, and see and experience their equipment, products and services as they explore more than 80,000 square feet of displays during the three-day tradeshow.
“We look forward to continuing our great relationships with our partners from the Nashville and the Middle Tennessee fire departments,” said Peter Matthews, Firehouse’s conference director and editor-in-chief. “Next year’s conference will include new hands-on training classes, additional programs focused on EMS, and other sessions to keep our attendees engaged and learning while they are in Nashville.”
Firehouse Expo brings together a community of career and volunteer firefighters to exchange information, learn life-saving techniques and see first-hand the latest equipment, tools and resources.
Firehouse Expo 2019 will be held October 8–12 at the Music City Center. Next year, Firehouse Expo 2020 will be held July 21–25, at the Music City Center.
