Registration
When does registration open?

Can I take a Lecture or Workshop/HOT class only?
Yes, you can choose to take the 3-day Lecture Series alone and/or one or both HOT/Workshop days as desired.
Is there a 1-day only Lecture Series option?
No, the Lecture Series is a simple 3-day ticket. If you can only make 1-2 of those days, that’s alright.
Can I modify my registration?
Yes, if spots allow. Contact us: firemanshipconference@gmail.com.
Can somebody else come to the conference in my place?
Yes, contact us: firemanshipconference@gmail.com.
What's the Cancellation Policy?
Firemanship is committed to providing exceptional training opportunities. No shows and late cancellations have a negative impact on another person's ability to receive training. For this reason, the following policy will be strictly enacted.
A 30-day notice for a HOT/Workshop class cancellation and/or a 2-week notice for a Lecture Series cancellation is required for a refund request. Cancellation notifications will need to come through email contact to firemanshipconference@gmail.com.
A Lecture Series/HOT Classes/Workshop spot can be transferred to another person within 3-days notice from the start of the conference. Transfers will only change the attendee's name; refunds will NOT be handled by Firemanship. Transfer notifications will need to come through email contact to firemanshipconference@gmail.com.
Can I use a Purchase Order?
No, this year we will not be allowing purchase orders or invoicing. We only allow online payments through our RegFox link. Registration for multiple individuals is allowed, but due to the extended time that group registrations require, you might lose your spot. We recommend individual registrations.
I’ve registered, now what?
