NENA 2026 Conference Recap

Thank you for making #NENA2026 unforgettable!

We’re grateful to our sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, volunteers—and especially to all the attendees who took time out of their busy lives to be with us in Columbus. You’re what makes the NENA community so special.

Thank you to everyone who helped us raise more than $90,000 for the newly-launched Brian Fontes Center for Excellence, including our donation-match partner, RapidSOS! You can help us provide even more vital training opportunities to members of our 9-1-1 family by donating here or by texting NENA to 91999.

Head over to the NENA Facebook page for pictures from the conference – with more being added!

Join us in congratulating our new Board of Directors President, Roxy Van Gundy, ENP, and watch an update from our CEO, John Provenzano. 

See videos that celebrate our award winners (Chapter Challenge | Presidential | Hall of Fame | Voice of 9-1-1); recognize our scholarship recipients (Gold Line | McMurray | Women in 9-1-1 | ENP) and acknowledge our newest Partner in Education Recognition (PIER) program certificate recipients.

The conference wasn’t just about great sessions and networking. We also unveiled several exciting new initiatives. Learn more about the NENA Action Council, the Excellence in Leadership Certificate, NENA’s new Strategic Plan, and our new online store on our redesigned nena.org homepage.

And don’t forget: Plan now to join us in Nashville, TN for #NENA2027!
