National Disaster Resilience Conference 2026

The 2026 conference is at Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The published audience includes design experts, emergency managers, first responders, insurers, and meteorologists.

It suits emergency managers, insurers, design and building professionals and meteorologists who want to hear across disciplines, since the attendee base spans those groups plus first responders, and the program mixes keynotes, panels and breakout tracks on engineering, science and policy. Researchers who want deep peer review in one narrow specialty, or vendors expecting a large exhibit-driven buyer pool, would likely get less from a cross-sector conference run by the nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH).

Attendees at emergency management and resilience conferences usually wear business casual, with some first responders and agency staff in uniform or polos. The Clearwater Beach resort setting in November is mild and relaxed, so light layers and comfortable shoes are common.
