About this Event

Hey Smart Firefighting Community,

We’re running it back (AGAIN becasue if it ain't broke don't fix it) at The Dug Out (621 Virginia Ave) for another Smart Firefighting Hootenanny.

The Smart Firefighting Hootenanny is the ultimate kickoff to FDIC week. It's a chance to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with an amazing mix of first responders, industry partners, government agencies, nonprofit associations, academic institutions, and friends of the fire service.

This is an INVITE-ONLY event, and with ~200 people expected, we need you to do us a solid favor and fill out this form so we know you're coming.

One rule: If you attend, you must meet at least five new people and come ready to share ideas, spark collaboration, and push innovation in the fire service. No wallflowers.

A special thank you to our community that makes this happen: W.S. Darley & Company, GARAGE, BRYCER, First Due, Dejero, CATONKA Investment, McKinzie Smart Technologies, IROL, Ease Alert, First Due, Virtual CRR, Deccan, Fireproof Tech, Public Safety Direct, Hazsim, Dronesense, IP Access, FLAIM Systems, Tesla, ESRI and more.

In prep for the Hootenany, make sure to listen to some of our podcast episodes here: https://www.smartfirefighting.com/podcast

Hope to see you all there!

With Love,

The Smart Fire Fighting Crew
