This year, FEMA is pulling out all the stops to celebrate our 75th anniversary at the Supply Summit & Showcase in Fort Myers, FL. We’ve added exciting new activities to the schedule, starting with a fishing excursion on Monday, April 7 followed by a Topgolf event later that evening.

On Tuesday, April 8, we have two special events planned. First-time attendees are invited to a reception designed just for them—an excellent opportunity to meet fellow members and get acquainted with the event. After that, everyone is invited to the big Welcome Party, where we’ll officially kick off the celebration in style.

On Wednesday, April 9, we’re introducing the Technology Track, a new addition focused on emerging technologies. This dedicated track includes Technology Row, where you can explore innovative advancements that have the potential to shape the future of the industry.

Thursday, April 10, wraps up the event with a lively cornhole tournament—another addition this year. We’ll close the conference on a high note with the Musical Farewell Party featuring Bruce the Piano man followed by a reunion of our very own talented FEMA musicians. As always —you’re encouraged to join in the fun and sing along!

Don’t miss these exciting activities as we commemorate FEMA’s 75th Diamond Anniversary. This year’s Supply Summit & Showcase is not only a celebration, but also a unique opportunity to connect with peers and industry leaders.
