FDIC International 2027 in Indianapolis: where to stay

FDIC International is North America's largest training event for the fire and rescue industry, held each spring at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Over the course of six days, attendees move between classroom sessions, pre-conference workshops, Hands-On Training (H.O.T.) Evolutions and themed summits covering metro fire officers, EMS innovation, industrial fire and aircraft rescue. The show floor connects thousands of decision-makers, trainers and experts with more than 800 manufacturers and suppliers presenting the latest apparatus, equipment and technology for the fire service. Beyond formal programming, the week is built around networking: hallway conversations, author signings at the Fire Engineering Bookstore and special events that bring together crews from around the world. Whether you are a firefighter, officer, instructor or EMS professional, FDIC International is where the fire service gathers to learn, share and reconnect. Registration is required for most sessions, and many H.O.T. Evolutions and workshops carry an additional fee.
