It is with great disappoint that we are unable to host the in-person Firehouse Expo event due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID cases continue to surge in Tennessee, local officials, partners and the Nashville hospitality industry are unable to predict the availability of everything that makes Firehouse Expo special – the availability of hands-on training sites, the ability to deliver the conference program due to travel bans and quarantine policies, and even nightlife activities on Broadway. Despite creating detailed protocols to keep attendees and exhibitors safe, the virus poses too high of a risk in bringing thousands of people together.
 

We look forward to launching an interactive virtual training platform - Firehouse Expo Direct - later this year and to returning to our in-person format September 14-18, 2021 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. We hope that you will join us and we anxiously await the opportunity to bring the fire service back together to train, learn and network with one another.
