Registration for the Emergency Management Learning Lab webinar series will open in early February and, thanks to our generous sponsors, all 12 sessions will be complimentary to NEMA members. Non-members will be charged a registration fee of $99.

The webinars are to be educational, timely and of broad interest to the field of emergency management. This is not an opportunity to highlight an organizations products and/or services. Some of the most successful workshops we have seen at past NEMA events are lessons learned panels with multiple states, organizations and experiences. Such panels show the complexity and dimension of issues and offer a variety of preparedness, response and recovery strategies that others can learn from and use. The ongoing issues surrounding COVID-19 and vaccine distribution require new strategies and resilience efforts will be tested as never before. During challenging times, learning from each other’s successes and challenges makes us all better. Beyond COVID, what should emergency management look like moving forward to deal with increasingly complex challenges?

Webinar topics submitted to NEMA for approval. Exact title is not necessary with the signed application however a one paragraph description must accompany the signed application. The sponsor will be notified within 1 business day if submission is approved. If the proposed topic has already been submitted by another sponsor or the topic does not fit the nature of the event, 24 hours will be given to draft another topic. Topics will be posted on the schedule above as they are approved.

A breakout room will be provided following the webinar for Q&A or a facilitated discussion on the webinar topic. In case of a large attendance, a second breakout room will be available to allow for more active audience participation.

Logos must be submitted in a high resolution PNG or JPEG format. No other formats may be used. Logos should be sent electronically to Karen.
