Since 1999, Project Lifesaver® International has provided special-needs training and search technology to tens of thousands of first responders. We have educated policymakers on the safety issues and fought for the rights and funding for the special-needs community while supporting the families, caregivers and local public-safety agencies that protect them. Every year is a very special one for us and those we serve, and we intend to make the 2025 Project Lifesaver Annual Conference an extraordinary experience for all who attend. Known as the most impactful and highest quality event of its kind, the Project Lifesaver conference is open to member agencies and non-members alike.

Who should attend?
We welcome first responders, educators, parents, caregivers, public-safety professionals and anyone seeking education, training, and deeper insight into living with, working with, search-and-rescue for and better understanding people with autism, dementia and other cognitive conditions and how to protect and assist them.
Begin making your plans now to join us Monday, August 25 through Thursday, August 28 2025, at the Hilton Buena Vista Palace in Orlando for four days of education, hands-on training and networking with your peers and some of the most renowned first responder and special-needs practitioners in our field! (Consider arriving Sunday, Aug. 24, for early check-in and an evening welcome reception.)
“Taking on the task to bring Project Lifesaver to my agency was a lot for me, and I appreciated learning everything I could about this special-needs search-and-rescue program.
However, when I saw the look on the little girl’s face after she had wandered off and we found her, that was the icing on the cake for me. I can honestly say that it was the highlight of my 20-year career. A 7-minute search made me feel a way that nothing else in my duties has ever made me feel.
I thank you and everyone from Project Lifesaver for your dedication to this program and allowing us to be a part of it. You guys are my heroes, for sure!”
~ Sgt. Johnathan Gilbert, Project Lifesaver Coordinator and Electronic Search Specialist, York County Sheriff’s Office, S.C
