About The Program
The Winter School Facilities & Safety Congress brings together the people who keep schools safe, resilient, and running, from directors of operations to solution providers shaping what’s possible.
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’ll 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.
Applications close November 11.

Delegate Testimonials
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.
As a first-time attendee/speaker at the 2024 Spring School Facilities and Safety Conference, I was pleased of how well the conference ran, the networking opportunities available and being able to see where various regions within the Country are with their school safety and facilities initiatives.
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.
My experience at this conference was great i like the concept of short sessions and timed vendor/business partner meetings. Everyone's attention is kept and your not stuck in conversations that your not interested in. -
