 27th New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Conference

Planning is in full swing and we’re thrilled to announce that attendee and hotel registration is now open! Attendees can book their rooms at from the Hotel and Parking page to secure the discounted conference rate. Booking early is strongly encouraged!

This year’s conference will once again feature:

TRAINING: Professionals from across the emergency management community will lead specialized hands-on training courses designed to strengthen preparedness and response capabilities at every level.

BREAKOUTS: Subject-matter experts from local, state, federal, nonprofit, academic, and private-sector partners will deliver a diverse selection of breakout sessions, offering fresh insights and practical tools for today’s evolving emergency management landscape.

EXHIBIT HALL: Explore a wide range of vendors, emerging technologies, and solution partners who support the mission of emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation across New Jersey and beyond.

SPECIAL EVENTS: Take advantage of the unique opportunities available during the annual Awards and Networking Reception, the Higher Education Challenge, as well as the Friday General Session. We are fortunate to have fellow County and State emergency managers from North Carolina up to share their experiences during the Hurricane Helene response and recovery.

Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a long-time supporter, the NJEPA Conference provides unparalleled opportunities for training, networking, and professional development.
