The Stadium

The Drill Yard is FDIC’s premier training ground, dedicated to hands-on tactical instruction for first responders. Designed to replicate real-world challenges, this space offers immersive simulations in vehicle stabilization, extrication, bailout, forcible entry, and more—building the essential skills needed to perform under pressure. 

The Health & Wellness space is dedicated to supporting the physical and mental well-being of first responders. Through expert-led discussions, educational activations, and complimentary cancer screenings, attendees can gain critical insights into mental health, cancer prevention, nutrition, and other key aspects of first responder wellness.

From airway management to incident command, The Sim Yard showcases the full spectrum of EMS response in a dynamic, hands-on environment. This is where education meets adrenaline—where EMS professionals can practice, perform, and progress in the same arena that hosts champions. 

Central Park offers a relaxed, social environment where attendees can connect and recharge. Featuring casual games, therapy dogs, and tasty concessions, it’s the perfect space to unwind, network, and enjoy a break from the day’s activities. 

Discover a space dedicated to remembrance and reflection. Remembrance Square honors the legacy of 9/11 through a powerful mobile exhibit, a memorial wall, and a thoughtfully designed area for quiet reflection. Attendees are invited to pause, pay tribute, and connect with one another in a meaningful setting.

Guests can also enjoy concessions while engaging in thoughtful conversations and watching live panels and interviews broadcast from the FDIC TV stage.
