Emergency management continues to be a rapidly growing field with increasing demands and pressures.

The dynamic landscape of emergency management presents new challenges and opportunities every day. This workshop is your chance to stay ahead in this ever-evolving field. We aim to bring together practitioners to share their invaluable experiences, expertise, and insights, and to collectively support the professional development of individuals with emergency management responsibilities in a higher education setting.

Pre-Event Training Opportunity

This year we are pleased to offer a unique opportunity for higher education emergency managers to participate in a 2-day training course taught by the nationally recognized Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). Scheduled for January 1314, 2026, just prior to the 13th Annual NYS College & University Emergency Management Workshop, the courseMGT 361: Crisis Management Affecting Institutions of Higher Educationis specifically designed for professionals working in college and university settings. This FEMA-certified course equips participants with critical skills to effectively plan for, respond to, and recover from a wide range of campus emergencies, including natural disasters, active threats, and public health incidents. By combining practical strategies with real-world scenarios, MGT 361 provides a collaborative learning environment tailored to the unique operational challenges faced by institutions of higher education, making it a must-attend for campus emergency managers, public safety officials, and administrators.  Registration information will be released when it becomes available.

PEP Talks (Preparedness, Emergencies, Planning)

This year's workshop will once again feature several TED Talk style presentations where speakers share success stories or "easy wins" that helped improve their emergency management program or advanced their career.

We believe the knowledge, experiences, and insights shared during this workshop will be of immense value to you and your institution. It's an excellent opportunity to connect with leaders in higher education and engage in discussions that will shape the future of emergency management in the academic context.  Ample opportunities to network will allow you to develop professional relationships with your peers and reconnect with others.

Mark your calendars for January 15-16, 2026, and join us in Binghamton at the 2026 NYS College and University Emergency Management Workshop. Your participation will contribute to the collective growth and advancement of our field.  We look forward to seeing you in Binghamton.
