2025 Louisiana Emergency Management Conference Presentations (May 5-8, 2025 Event)

2025 LEMC Call for Presentations

The Louisiana Emergency Management Conference (LEMC) Committee is excited to announce the Call for Presentations for the 2025 LEMC, scheduled to take place May 5-8, 2025, in Lake Charles, LA. This year’s conference theme focuses on highlighting the Past, Present, and Future of emergency management, offering a platform to share innovative ideas, time-tested strategies, and forward-thinking solutions that enhance resilience across all sectors. As 2025 marks one of the first major catastroporic incidents, such as Katrina and Rita, Louisiana has been the premier state pioneering many lines of efforts to strengthen capability at all levels of government and organizations.

We invite dynamic and engaging presentations addressing current challenges, lessons learned, best practices, emerging technologies, evolving threats, and fostering participant interaction. Multiple submissions are welcome.

Session Details
Duration: 90 minutes, inclusive of Q&A.
Formats: Rooms will be arranged in classroom style, with some offering a theater setup.

Selection Criteria
All submissions will undergo a rigorous review by the LEMC Committee and designated track leads. Sessions will be evaluated based on:
Relevance: Addressing pressing issues and forward-looking topics.
Timeliness: Delivering content that reflects current trends or innovations.
Presenter Qualifications: Expertise and experience in the proposed subject matter.

Room Setup & Equipment
Each session room will be equipped with:

Why Present?
Presenters have the unique opportunity to engage with an audience of over 400 professionals, including leaders from federal, state, and local governments, business and industry representatives, civic organizations, and volunteer groups.

Registration Policy
Presenters attending solely for their breakout session may have their registration fee waived and will receive a speaker’s code upon selection as a conference presenter.
