2026 CERT Summit Rising Resilience

Date:  Thu, January 08, 2026

Time:   8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Location:  

Join us for the Inaugural 2026 CERT Summit: Rising Resilience - Ready Together on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at The Ora Event Center at 578 McIntosh Road, Sarasota, FL 34232.

As we work to strengthen the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) ecosystem across our four county region (Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties) the day will feature plenary and breakout sessions providing training, insights, and networking for those active in CERT, exploring involvement, or committed to building resilience in their neighborhood, workplace, or team.

We’re excited to learn from one another, exchange best practices, and build stronger connections across the region. An exhibit and vendor hall will offer additional opportunities to connect with organizations and programs supporting disaster preparedness and resiliency.
