• This conference exists because of the unwavering support of the fire service community. Hosting training on this scale comes with significant costs, and your generosity allows us to maintain the high standards you've come to expect without cutting corners. Every contribution, no matter the size, is an investment in an experience that means far more to us than the monetary value. It's about purpose, drive, and putting the mission first. It's a mission that is deeply personal to all of us.

    Our speakers, instructing cadres, Red Shirt Family, and conference organizers volunteer their time entirely free of charge. No one is paid. From the very beginning, this conference has been and always will be FOR THEM.

    Your donation directly supports the essential expenses that make this training possible, including lecture venue fees, HOT site props and buildouts, instructor travel and lodging, HOT site lunches, student tuition assistance, and countless other behind-the-scenes conference costs.

    Because of your support, this mission continues. Together, we're equipping firefighters, strengthening the fire service, and ensuring this experience remains accessible for those who answer the call.

    2027 sponsorship opportunities TBA.

  • We welcome vendors to join us in the beautiful Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Illinois during our three-day Lecture Series. If you're passionate about supporting the fire service and believe in investing in firefighters, we'd love to have you with us. This is more than a vendor opportunity, it's a chance to be part of a mission and connect with some of the very best our fire service has to offer.

    Throughout the week, Firemanship becomes home to close to 100 nationally respected speakers and instructors and over 1,000 firefighters from all over the USA, Canada, and Mexico. It's more than a conference - it's a community built on Faith. Family. Firemanship.

    Vendor fees directly support the essential expenses that make this training possible, including lecture venue costs, HOT site props and buildouts, instructor travel and lodging, HOT site lunches, student tuition assistance, and countless other behind-the-scenes conference expenses.
