When the world tries to bring you down, why not dare to be great?

Back in 2020 we were hit with a global pandemic. 9-1-1 professional continuing education took a hit, but out of the pandemic, a new hope was born. This form of hope was a virtual event that brought the Thin Gold Line together for training, FREE training, education, support, and asked everyone to Dare to be Great. It is now 2024, much has happened since then, and we continue this path of greatness with the final Dare to be Great virtual event.

The era of the headset is upon us and Dare to be Great, a virtual event for 9-1-1, by 9-1-1 is back. It is an honor to do this, and bring to you, the best speakers, and Industry Partner leaders that truly support and believe in you. Let's make this the best one yet and break an attendance record for public safety virtual events. This event is FREE and has unlimited registration and viewing. Even if you cannot attend LIVE, you can still register and watch the playback.

Conference housekeeping
