2026 ODC

2026 ODC Registration is OPEN!!

Join us at the Hilton at Easton Town Center from Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16, for four days of leadership development, practical training, and meaningful connection with fire service professionals from across the state.

This year’s conference features more than 20 speakers, including keynote presenters Frank Viscuso and Dr. Candace Ashby, who will deliver powerful insights on leadership, culture, and professional growth.

New for 2026, attendees can take part in interactive skills workshops designed to deliver real-world value. Sessions will include topics such as How a Bill Becomes a Law, Basic Excel Formatting, Navigating Retirement, and many more—providing practical tools you can take back to your department.

The agenda below highlights the confirmed speakers and sessions for this year’s event. We are also finalizing morning networking sessions and evening activities, including the always-popular OFCA Hospitality Suite and our exciting new Innovation Zone presentations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired. We look forward to seeing you in Easton this July!
