Contact UsWhy Send a Team?
Sending five or more attendees does more than reduce the registration price. Your agency can cover more classes, divide responsibilities across training tracks, expand its professional network, and return home with more ideas, tools, and resources than one attendee could gather alone.
Agency-Sponsored Non-Member Registration
We understand that some organizations cannot pay for professional memberships. Eligible law enforcement trainers and educators may attend as verified users by paying the conference registration rate plus a $100 administrative fee. Verification of eligibility is required before registration can be completed.
Conference registration rates, availability, and eligibility requirements are subject to the applicable registration terms. Contact ILEETA if you need help selecting the appropriate option.

Why ILEETA?
Develop the People Who Develop Others
The ILEETA Conference & Expo is built specifically for law enforcement trainers and educators. Every course, conversation, and professional connection has the potential to influence hundreds or thousands of officers after attendees return to their agencies.
This is not simply a week away from work. It is an investment in instructor capability, organizational learning, officer readiness, and the quality of training delivered long after the conference ends.
