Be the Difference Conference & Expo is more than just a training event. It’s a movement built by dispatchers, for dispatchers.
Be the Difference is uniquely intimate, designed specifically for telecommunicators. Every session is intentional, and every speaker understands the demands of life under the headset. It’s a space for dispatchers to feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow both personally and professionally.
Join us in Knoxville, TN, January 25–28, 2026 for a conference experience that delivers more than just CEUs. This is your chance to reconnect with your “why,” grow alongside passionate professionals, and leave with actionable strategies to make a difference in your center.
