FDIC Is a Fireground: Preplan It or Get Burned
About this episode
Every year firefighters and officers invest thousands of dollars to attend FDIC International in Indianapolis — but many arrive without a plan. In this episode of The Larry Conley Show, host Larry Conley and his guest, Dave McGlynn, break down how to approach FDIC as if it's a fireground operation. From size-up and building familiarization to strategy, contingencies, rehab, and after-action review, they outline a disciplined framework designed to maximize professional and financial return on investment.
Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned conference veteran, this conversation will help you avoid burnout, overspending, and missed opportunities. And it will ensure you return home with measurable leadership growth. Don’t just attend. Deploy.
