Typically, the VFCA will cover lodging and travel for one speaker per presentation, if necessary; and provide a full conference registration to chosen presenter. Hotel stay will be provided for one night prior to OR for the evening of the presentation and will be charged to the VFCA Master Bill. Special lodging requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Required honorariums and fees, and travel expenses will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, subject to negotiations with a VFCA representative.
Since this conference is the VFCA’s major source of annual revenue, any expenses that you or your organization can “absorb” related to your presentation would be greatly appreciated. As a member of the nation’s fire service, this is a great opportunity to "pass along" your knowledge and expertise to the future leaders of the fire service.
Thank you for your submission to present at the 2026 Virginia Fire & Rescue Conference.
If you have any issues with submission or questions for the committee, please email vfcaprofessionaldevelopment@gmail.com.
