We’re proud to continue building on the success of the LEAD (Leadership, Empowerment, Advocacy, and Development) Certificate Series.

LEAD has quickly become the go-to program for company and chief officers committed to advancing their professional development and strengthening their leadership impact.

Join us in Keystone, Colorado, for one of the West’s premier fire service conferences. This five-day, all-inclusive event brings together 700+ attendees and more than 100 vendors for unmatched networking, education, and innovation.

Engage in dynamic keynotes and expert-led workshops designed for chiefs, chief officers, fire marshals, firefighters, and emergency service professionals committed to advancing safety and leadership.

Presented in partnership with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC), Colorado Professional Fire Fighters (CPFF), and the Fire Marshals Association of Colorado (FMAC), FLC delivers the connections, tools, and inspiration to help shape the future of your department and community.

We're thankful for the support of our amazing partner companies and organizations. We are SOLD OUT again for 2026.

If you a participating company, you can visit the Exhibits Page for important details and deadlines. 

If you're a new company looking for opportunities to get involved or to be added to our wait list, please reach out to Karissa Hasser. 

We look forward to you joining us in October!

All conference events will be held at the Keystone Conference Center with the exception of the evening Welcome Reception on Tuesday, October 20.
