As New York state mandates and health and safety guidelines concerning COVID-19 continue to change, NYSAFC officials will make adjustments to the venue layout and event schedule as necessary for the safety of attendees and exhibitors at the 115th Annual Conference & FIRE 2021 Expo. The event is proceeding on July 14-17, 2021, at The Oncenter in Syracuse, NY.
To allow for more social distancing in classrooms at The Oncenter, no exhibits will be located in the Ballroom (lower level) this year. Classrooms will be expanded into this area. Exhibits will be placed, as previously announced, in the Conference Center, outdoors, and in the War Memorial Arena. View the interactive FIRE 2021 exhibit floorplan here.
The previously announced locations for some conference events, including the keynote address, memorial service, and special training programs, will be changed. Details will be provided as the event draws near. Please note that all classes and speakers are subject to change.
Attendees and exhibitors can expect to receive detailed updates on COVID-19 policies and protocols as FIRE 2021 approaches. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through these uncertain times and look forward to seeing you in Syracuse!
