During our 2026 event, you’ll spend three days connecting with industry, institutional, community and regulatory leaders while focusing on how response actually works in practice. You’ll take part in hands-on training, equipment and product demonstrations, and focused discussions designed to get people and organizations synchronized for action. Along the way, you’ll exchange best practices, build cross-sector relationships, and strengthen the coordination that supports effective decision-making and execution when it matters most.
Beyond the core program, GRA 2026 features a curated series of special events designed to bring participants together in dynamic, real-world settings. These moments create space for shared experiences, practical insight, and meaningful connection across the response community.
Unwind in a relaxed waterfront setting while connecting with fellow attendees, partners, and exhibitors.
