    The SFPE National Capital Region is hosting our fourth annual student conference on May 21st, 2025. This is an opportunity for students to present to the professional fire protection community and to network with other peers, industry members, and potential future employers!

    In support of fostering education and student development we invite anyone in the SFPE community to participate. We encourage attendance from companies that are hiring to connect with students that will soon be entering the work force. This is a free event to encourage both student and industry participation. Industry members will benefit by learning about new and expanded areas of research.
