Virtual Attendance






Virtual Registration

New Virtual Attendance Option Now Available for PBD 2026 

In response to recent airport closures and travel restrictions impacting many of our members, the SFPE Performance-Based Design Conference 2026 is expanding access with a newly added virtual participation option. 

Our goal is simple: ensure that every fire protection and performance-based design professional can stay connected to the latest research, case studies, and global best practices, regardless of travel limitations. 

Experience PBD 2026 From Anywhere! 

While virtual participation cannot fully replicate the in-person networking and expo experience, the new online format ensures that remote attendees can still engage meaningfully with conference content. This option is ideal for members affected by travel disruptions or those who prefer a flexible, remote learning experience. 

Virtual Attendees will Receive:

  • Live-stream access to all general sessions and technical presentations
  • Real-time Q&A with speakers and panelists
  • On-demand session recordings available within hours
  • Access to digital conference materials and resources

The virtual conference qualifies for a Certificate of Attendance and SFPE Professional Development Hours (PDH). The number of credits awarded will correspond to the documented level of participation during the live event.
