Please note, the NFCA will not be hosting an Annual Training Event in the Fall, so don’t miss out this year! Register for the April Event!

Dear NFCA Partner,

The National Fusion Center Association (NFCA) is pleased to announce that registration is open for its upcoming 2022 Annual Training Event, to be held April 12-14, 2022, in Alexandria, Virginia.

The Annual Training Event in April is shaping up to be a tremendous occasion with outstanding sessions for attendees to learn best practices from their colleagues throughout the Network. The NFCA has been especially pleased with the quality of presentation submissions for this year’s conference, and attendees with be equally pleased with the wide array of thought-provoking topics.

If you previously registered for the October 2021 Conference, and transferred your registration to the April event, you will be receiving a separate confirmation email shortly. Additionally, if your fusion center made a bulk registration and you would like to make changes to who you will be sending, please email Josh Ledden at jledden@bbm-dc.com.

We have received several inquiries on the status of the conference due to concerns over the rise of the COVID 19. The NFCA is continuing to move forward with the in-person conference as scheduled. We will be following the City of Alexandria, VA, and Hilton Mark Center COVID procedures at the time of the conference to keep everyone’s safety as the top priority. To find the most current information regarding COVID recommendations in the City of Alexandria, visit: https://www.alexandriava.gov/Coronavirus. Should the status of the conference change, we will notify the Network as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we encourage those who are planning to attend the conference to complete their conference registration and make their hotel arrangements by following the links below.
