This program will encompass training\, planning considerations\, equipment selection\, evolving threats and risk reduction along with case studies.  Participants will have the opportunity to use cutting-edge equipment and/or their own issued equipment. \nParticipants will be provided with handouts\, operation guides and other checklists.  Suggested attendees include HazMat Technicians\, CBRN Responders as well as bomb technicians. \nRegistration Options\nRegistration is available for this event for: \n\nParticipants (Active Technicians)\nIndustry Partners\nObservers\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT:\n\n\nYou must be logged in to enable registration for the various types based on your membership profile. \nLOGIN\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\nUnited States Bomb Technician Association\n4450 Indian Head Hwy\, Indian Head\, MD 20640 [Map]\n\nEvent Dates\n\nFTTE 1\n\nTuesday\, May 19 – Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026\n\n\nFTTE 2\n\nThursday\, May 21 – Friday\, May 22\, 2026\n\n\n\nAirport\n\nReagan National (DCA) – 28 miles\nDulles (IAD) – 56 miles\nBaltimore (BWI) – 62 miles\n\nHotels\nRoom blocks are available at the Hilton Garden Inn Waldorf\, MD.  This room block will expire on May 8 2026.
