Technology Summit International
December 7-9, 2026
Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel
Denver, CO
Join TSI in Denver this December, where the Fire & EMS Services Meets Technology!
Global Sponsor
Built by the Fire Service, for the Fire Service
Three days of hands-on sessions, collaborative problem-solving and innovation focused on the technology shaping the fire and emergency service.
This Is Not a Trade Show
You’ve been to the conference where you sit in the back with your laptop open, answer email through the keynote and go home with a tote bag.
TSI is a different animal
Across 30 working sessions and six rooms, you’ll tackle real fire service challenges alongside chiefs, company officers, firefighters, analysts, IT leaders, students and technology partners.
You won’t just hear about technology. You’ll work with it.
Sessions use practical exercises, collaborative problem-solving and synthetic fire service data to explore technology adoption, implementation and change management.
Explore TSI Program Tracks
Featured Track
5×5: Public Safety Innovation
Advancing the Future of Responder Communications
Join IAFC and the FirstNet Authority to explore emerging broadband capabilities, field-ready technologies, and the future of public safety communications.
Hosted by IAFC and the First Responder Network Authority, With technical contributions from NIST’s Public Safety Communications Research Division.
Program Tracks – Pick Yours!
Aviation + Robotics
Explore what aviation and robotics can do today, what the rules actually say and how departments can build—and sustain—effective programs.
AI + Data
Move from AI fundamentals to practical implementation, including tools, data, governance, policy and responsible adoption.
GIS
Explore spatial technology, platforms, data and the people and processes needed to build GIS capability that lasts.
Wildland, WUI + CRR
Examine technology supporting wildland response and community risk reduction—and how departments can successfully adopt and sustain it.
The Forum
Technology eventually runs into something human. Tackle contracts, budgets, organizational resistance and the change management that determines whether technology succeeds.
The Showfloor
Learn more about the latest and greatest Technologies from the showfloor and how your department could successfully incorporate in everyday use.
Day Three: The TSI Hackathon
Come to Work, Not to Watch.
Days one and two are workshops and classes across AI, data, GIS, robotics, NERIS, community risk reduction and WUI, where teams divide and conquer and pick up what they need. Day three gives you the opportunity to put it to work.
Teams of four to six will tackle real fire service problems using curated synthetic data, with subject-matter experts available throughout the day.
Real problems. Synthetic data. One day to build something that works.
You don’t need a team before you arrive. Join one in Denver.
Innovation Takes the Stage
TSI Shark Tank
Bold ideas in front of the people who actually use the tech.
Now in our fourth year, we are looking for builders, disruptors and doers. If your technology changes how public safety operates, from the fireground to the front lines, the TSI Shark Tank is where you pitch it to the leaders who decide whether it lives in their department.
Innovation Award
Eight minutes on the main stage in front of your peers, competing for the TSI Innovation Award. Six agency slots.
Six agencies take the main stage, pitch for eight minutes, and show what they built inside their own department and what changed because of it. Somebody solved something at your place and nobody outside the building knows about it, and this is where that story gets told and where the TSI Innovation Award gets won.
Academia Research Track
Student research on the show floor, in front of the people who would have to operationalize it.
Fire service research usually ends up in a journal that no chief will ever read. TSI puts five to eight student poster displays on the show floor instead, in front of the chiefs and operators who would have to put the work into practice, with discounted registration for students selected.
