Got the spark of an idea? Submit a proposal for the 2024 Fire Chiefs Leadership Seminar

By Cal Cities Education Staff

Cal Cities is seeking inspiring, thought-provoking session proposals for California's biggest education event for fire professionals: the Fire Chief Leadership Seminar. Taking place at the Meritage in Napa, Dec. 11-12, the conference will bring together fire chiefs (current and aspiring) with others in the field for two days of learning, sharing, and collaboration.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to gain visibility and share your expertise by submitting a session proposal. The seminar attracts leaders from around the state.

This year's conference will offer educational and innovative leadership sessions across a variety of formats. Change is constant in cities. These sessions will support chiefs by equipping them with the latest knowledge, resources, and tools to advance their communities and assist their stations in their daily roles and operations.

What we're looking for

Submissions from individuals, groups, businesses, and organizations on any topic of interest are welcome. Cal Cities encourages session proposals that are creative and modern in their programming and format.

A diverse volunteer group of Cal Cities members will review each proposal through an online survey. Proposals are evaluated on their broad appeal, topic timeliness, originality, innovation, interactivity, creativity, supporting evidence, the ability to provoke discussion or thought, and the absence of product or vendor commercialization.

The deadline to submit a proposal is Friday, June 14.

How to submit

Only proposals submitted online through the proposal form will be considered. There is a limit to the number of words for each proposal's title and description. Be sure to read the instructions carefully as requirements differ between session types.
