Fire.Talk PDX is now FIRExTalk PDX

Now, Fire.Talk PDX is FIRExTalk PDX because our website is FIRExTalk.com

Fire.Talk started as a simple idea to share ideas by firefighters for firefighters.  The conference has grown from a simple training center event to now being held at the 200 seat Sheraton Hotel Conference Center.  The event is free for attendees just signup at the Aggressivefirefighter Event page

What is the FIRExTalk PDX event?

Imagine a day filled with brilliant speakers, thought-provoking video and mind-blowing conversation that will unleash new ideas, inspire and inform.

A FIRExTalk event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously recorded are shared with the fire service community.  The content and design of each FIRExTalk event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common.

FIRExTalk’s format

A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances that are idea-focused, and cover a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and passion– and provoke conversations that matter.
