2026 Metro Chiefs Conference

[Willie Watts]

All, 

Please register for the conference if you plan on attending, this helps with planning and determines the amount of food we purchase. 

I need your assistance with vendor participation. Please contact your vendors and lobby them to attend and participate in the vendor hall, this is how we pay for the conference. Vendors can register and pay on our website: arkansasmetrochiefs.org

Vendors are welcome to use the room block code. The room block code is: 2904METROF

Registration is now open for the 2026 NW Arkansas Metro Fire Chiefs Conference — happening April 29–30 at the beautiful Cherokee Casino & Hotel West Siloam Springs.

This year is shaping up to be one of the largest and most dynamic conferences in our history. You and your team will have the opportunity to connect with a wide range of Fire, Rescue, and Support Service vendors showcasing the latest equipment, technology, and solutions for today’s fire service.

The schedule includes:

• Vendor Hall Opening at 10:00

• Vendor Hall Social at 4:00 PM

• A Networking Dinner

• An evening of entertainment hosted by Cherokee Casino

We encourage you to bring your spouse or significant other and enjoy two days of fellowship, professional growth, and first-class hospitality.

Education for 2026 is proudly supported by Siddons-Martin Emergency Group, and we are excited to welcome Rick Lasky as our featured speaker. Chief Lasky will share insights from his latest book and decades of fire service leadership experience. His publications will be available for purchase, and he will be on hand for book signings.

Make plans now to attend the 2026 NW Arkansas Metro Fire Chiefs Conference — where leadership, learning, and camaraderie come together.

We look forward to seeing you there.
