The 2026 Texas Emergency Management Conference welcomed a record-setting 4,280+ attendees from more than 40 states and three countries to the Fort Worth Convention Center, making it the largest conference of its kind in the nation and marking the third consecutive year of record growth.
The conference brought together elected officials, first responders, emergency managers, private sector partners, non-governmental organizations, voluntary organizations active in disaster, and other decision-makers for four days of training, education, networking, and collaboration. Attendees participated in workshops and sessions focused on preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, crisis communications, cybersecurity, emerging technologies, and whole community coordination.
Thank you to our attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and partners who helped make this year's conference a success. We look forward to welcoming the emergency management community back to the Fort Worth Convention Center June 1-4, 2027.
