Annual Conference

With deterioration of the COVID-19 situation in North Texas, as shown in this Dec. 3 reporting from the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, the SAFE-D Board has, with regret, decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Conference. The Annual Conference had been scheduled Feb. 18-20 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

SAFE-D is exploring virtual alternatives to provide essential education to ESD officials throughout 2021.

To offer our SAFE-D members and the ESD community the chance to get training in person, SAFE-D will hold a Fall Event Sept. 15-17 in Fort Worth. Y'all come!

The Fall Event will be a perfect lead-in to the 2022 Annual Conference at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Round Rock (just north of Austin). That's scheduled Feb. 17-19, 2022.
