Now that 2022 has arrived, OFFICER and FIREHOUSE magazines are excited to announce a new look for the Station Design Conference, which returns to Rosemont, Illinois, in May.

This year's conference runs from May 24 to 26 at the Crowne Plaza in Rosemont. Registration is open and can be completed online. 

Launched in 2014 with just 63 attendees, Station Design Conference has grown into one of the leading conferences and exhibitions for public safety officials, fire chiefs, police chiefs, project managers and municipal managers who are actively involved in fire station and law enforcement facility design. Bringing together the industry's top experts in design and construction, attendees have the unique opportunity to learn valuable insights, trends and innovations, and key lessons from the best in the business.

Topics to be covered at the conference include:

• Site selection
• How to select an architect
• Design best practices
• Co-located fire and law enforcement facilities
• Managing total project costs
• Gaining community support
• Construction problems and solutions
• Construction 101 and overview
• Electric apparatus and technology
• Building materials, equipment and furnishings

This year's conference also sees the return of 1-on-One Meetings. How helpful would it be to review your plans with an expert in public safety facility design?  With a 1-on-One Meeting, you'll have the individualized opportunity to sit down with a subject matter expert to get input on your facility plans and answers to your questions.
