Tactical and Occupational Performance Conference

The Desoto Savannah
15 E. Liberty, Savannah, GA, 31401
The Tactical and Occupational Performance Conference (TOPCON) is a premier event designed to advance the health, fitness, and performance of tactical professionals. It represents the evolution of two highly regarded events; the Peer Fitness Leader (PFL) Summit and the Human Performance Optimization (HPO) Conference. These successful efforts are now combined into an even more comprehensive and collaborative experience for professionals in tactical, health, and performance career fields. This comprehensive new experience includes training and instruction for first responders, military personnel and those who support them.
TOPCON content includes hands-on physical training, wellness strategies, and insights into current trends tailored for law enforcement, fire service, and military personnel. The TOP Conference brings together experts from health, human performance, and tactical backgrounds to share strategic approaches for enhancing individual capabilities and well-being. Attendees will benefit from educational and practical sessions focused on improving physical and mental preparedness for tactical athletes. The TOP Conference features nationally known speakers and provides networking opportunities for attendees.
