Tuesday & Wednesday, April 21-22 | Indiana Convention Center
The ARFF Summit at FDIC International is where the Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting community comes together to exchange ideas, sharpen skills, and strengthen connections. This two-day program blends leadership dialogue, operational best practices, and peer networking to advance ARFF excellence at every level.
Designed specifically for fire service and airport leadership, the ARFF Summit brings together firefighters, chiefs, and airport directors from A, B, and C level airports to explore challenges, share solutions, and build relationships that extend well beyond FDIC.
Whether you oversee operations at a regional airport or manage response at a major hub, the ARFF Summit provides insights and strategies to support your mission of protecting lives, property, and aviation assets.
