From the Voices of Planners

For 30 years, FDIC International has called Indianapolis home—and for good reason. Indy’s unique, walkable layout transforms the entire city into an immersive training ground, where 37,000 fire and rescue professionals from all 50 states and 60 countries come together with one shared mission: to save lives.

With a connected convention campus, spacious outdoor training areas, and state-of-the-art facilities like Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis offers the ideal setting for hands-on learning and collaboration.

Indianapolis is a hidden gem. It’s a really fun city; it’s a really manageable city. There’s something for every taste and walk of life, and it is a really really friendly city.
