Dare to be Great 3

DTBG3ConferenceBanner.jpg

One year ago we asked you to dare to be great by looking at a different way to further your public safety continuing education. That outlet was Dare to be Great, a free virtual conference filled with amazing speakers, and Industry Partner leaders in public safety. 

Nine thousand of you from around the world attended and virtually connected in a time where we were called upon to distance ourselves physically. Through these connections we learned new things, thought outside the box, and felt comfort in knowing we were not alone in this. 

Dare to be Great was born out of the pandemic, the ultimate dare to be great moment. It is a homegrown virtual conference, for dispatch, by dispatch. Thank YOU for being part of this ride. It has been an honor to give back to the most vital piece of public safety as this one will complete the trilogy of greatness. Let's make this one the best one yet!

Conference housekeeping

  • GOOGLE CHROME is the preferred browser. NO MICROSOFT EDGE OR INTERNET EXPLORER

  • Each session will be done live in the EASTERN TIMEZONE.  

  • Make sure to register even if you cannot attend live because each session will be recorded and available for immediate replay. The best viewing/learning experience will be through this platform, however, the video's will also be uploaded to Facebook and YouTube.  

  • Do you have to be a dispatcher to register/attend? No. Many people have asked because they are looking at becoming a dispatcher or in general to understand the profession more.  

  • Certificates will be made available two weeks after the end of the conference for those who need them 

  • There are no viewing/seating limits
