About The Program
The Spring School Facilities & Safety Congress brings together COOs, Chiefs of Police, Directors of Facilities, and Directors of Safety & Security, to evaluate new tools, compare real outcomes, and solve challenges that can’t wait for another year of emails and cold outreach.
Share what’s working. Learn what’s next. And connect with the leaders facing the same challenges you are, from both sides of the table.
You leave with ideas you can use, partnerships you can trust, and a renewed sense of purpose. Because when the stakes are high, the right room makes all the difference.

I kept saying no because I wasn’t sure about RTM and the concept. After attending, I am definitely a fan.
I recently attended an incredible RTM Conference that left me inspired and motivated. From the moment I walked into the panel discussion, I could feel the energy and excitement buzzing in the air. The speakers were top-notch, each one sharing their expertise and passion for their topics. Overall, the conference was a truly transformative experience.
Great experience. Quality sessions with speakers who have been in the trenches and can share their experiences and lessons learned. Overall, an excellent opportunity and learn and grow in our profession.
RTM puts on a great conference with fantastic sessions that provide great PD along with the opportunity to network with colleagues across the country.
