ITRS 2024
November 7 – 10, 2024 | Denver, CO | Registration open!
The International Technical Rescue Symposium is a gathering of persons from across the spectrum of rescue disciplines to share news and views on advances in equipment and techniques, technical problems, and issues of mutual concern. Attendees are typically paid professionals or volunteer rescue personnel from fire departments, national and state parks, mountain rescue teams, and other similar organizations.
Attendance is limited to preserve the collaborative nature of ITRS and to maintain opportunity for meaningful connection and information exchange.

Accommodations
Note that ITRS relies heavily on your staying at the host hotel for the event to remain affordable. Specifically, they reduce and/or waive the meeting room fee if we achieve a certain number of room nights. For this reason it is extremely important that you book your hotel room as soon as possible. Not having enough hotel rooms booked to offset meeting costs would be one reason we might have to cancel!
