We will be giving 2 Full Conference Passes to FDIC each weekend!
As a former Texas Fire Chief I know the struggles you face in managing your budgets, I also know the challenges your men and women face as they provide the world class fire protection which Texas is known for. A few months back I collaborated with several of you and we conceptualized a training opportunity which is affordable, dynamic, national in depth and local in focus.
On October 25 and 26 eight of the nations most influential and inspirational speakers are coming to the Fort Worth Hilton. As we deliberated who to ask we also thought about you the firefighters of Texas and the current budget reality. We examined other programs and decided that we need to increase content and decrease cost. We also recognized traditionally much of our training dollars were being consumed in expenses.
The solution, no food cost we are buying breakfast and lunch, no travel we are coming to you, no hotel costs, and one day passes for $150 and two day passes for $295 available at www.fireengineeringweekend.com
Departments who send three get a fourth registration free.
