Since 2018, the LIFT Conference has stood as one of the largest and most respected firefighter training conferences in the Gulf South—bringing together over 400 firefighters each year from Louisiana and beyond.

This isn’t just another conference—it’s a call to action. A place where passion meets purpose, and where firefighters come to elevate their craft, forge strong bonds, and return home sharper than they came.

What You’ll Experience at LIFT 2026:

• Hands-On Training (HOT) Drills

Choose from 4 to 8-hour immersive blocks built to replicate real-world challenges. Whether it’s fire behavior, rescue scenarios, or tactical operations, these sessions are designed to sharpen your edge.

Nationally renowned instructors and seasoned local leaders deliver classroom sessions filled with actionable strategies, hard-earned insights, and leadership development—built for rookies and seasoned officers alike.

• Nightly Networking & Brotherhood Events

Every evening offers the chance to unwind and connect. Kick off the conference with our Vendor Show—featuring live music by Pants Party, great food, and an open bar. It’s more than a party—it’s the heartbeat of the conference.
