Registration for the 2026 CATO Conference is now open. Some of the schedule is posted, with more to come as speakers are confirmed.

Last year, approximately 900 tactical operators from across North America gathered for three days of debriefs, lectures, and hands-on practical courses. The conference also featured a Vendor Show with nearly 100 industry partners showcasing the latest equipment and technology.

This year’s conference is pending California POST certification. The $625 conference price includes all seminars and debriefs, as well as lunch Tuesday, and breakfast and lunch on Wednesday and Thursday.
