Since its founding in 2018, the LIFT Conference has grown into one of the Gulf South’s premier firefighter training events, bringing together hundreds of firefighters each year in a shared mission to train harder, lead better, and serve stronger.

LIFT 2026 marked another milestone in that journey.

This year’s conference was a tremendous success, drawing an incredible turnout of firefighters not only from across Louisiana, but from departments all over the country. From high intensity hands on training to impactful classroom sessions and unforgettable fellowship, LIFT 2026 delivered on every level, strengthening skills, building connections, and reinforcing the brotherhood that defines the fire service.

To everyone who attended, instructed, and supported, thank you for making LIFT 2026 one of our strongest conferences yet.

Now, we look ahead.

Be on the lookout for the official announcement of LIFT 2027 conference dates, along with our upcoming instructor call. As always, registration for next year’s conference is expected to open in September.

Until then, stay safe, stay sharp, and we’ll see you at the next LIFT.
