The 2027 Station Design Conference, scheduled for May 17-20 at the Renaissance at Sea World in Orlando, will bring fire chiefs, police chiefs, public safety officials, project managers and municipal leaders together to examine fire, law enforcement and shared facility design.

The conference will focus on design trends, best practices and strategies for developing public safety facilities built for resilience, efficiency and longevity.

The educational program will feature sessions covering current topics in station design. The conference exhibition will also provide attendees with an opportunity to review products and services from design manufacturers and suppliers and connect with industry professionals.

For law enforcement agencies planning new facilities or upgrades to existing stations, the conference will provide access to design-focused education and discussions involving public safety infrastructure.

“Attending Station Design Conference was an incredibly valuable experience,” Haydon Companies said. “The sessions were insightful, the networking was impactful, and I came away with actionable ideas that I already brought back to my team. It was inspiring to connect with design, fire, and law enforcement professionals who are equally committed to enhancing public safety infrastructure and wellness."

Full conference registration includes pre-conference workshops scheduled for Monday, May 17. Attendees can participate in in-depth sessions addressing facility planning and design.

The conference will also offer 1-on-1 sessions on May 17, allowing attendees to have their projects reviewed by a team of experts. The main conference schedule will begin on May 18.

Brett Hanson, principal and conference speaker with MACKENZIE, said the event provides an opportunity for professionals involved in public safety facilities to work with industry leaders.

“Station Design Conference is a truly unique experience in which industry leaders in fire and law enforcement design come together for the sole purpose of supporting, educating, and guiding our nation's first responder agencies in the pursuit of desperately needed new or improved facilities,” Hanson said. “We can't emphasize enough the value this conference can bring to both agency leadership, facility staff and policy makers when beginning their first project or their 20th.”
