The Continuing Challenge Sacramento
02. - 05. September 2025 | Workshop for hazardous material emergency response

Since its founding in 1990, the "The Continuing Challenge" conference has established itself as a distinctive and practice-oriented industry event. It takes place annually at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in the heart of Sacramento, California. The name reflects the ongoing mission to provide continuous training for emergency responders in hazardous materials and CBRN management, ensuring they remain up to date with the latest technologies and methodologies. The event is organized by HazMat Org., an institution deeply committed to safety, professional development, and innovation in the handling of hazardous substances.
The Continuing Challenge is much more than a traditional trade fair. It serves as an international platform where professionals from emergency management, fire services, rescue organizations, industry, government agencies, and research institutions meet each year to exchange knowledge. The program focuses on practical workshops, realistic scenario exercises, and demanding theoretical and hands-on training, comprising around 100 learning sessions in total. Participants benefit from specialized courses covering current topics such as hazardous materials and CBRN incidents, chemistry and analytics, detection and reconnaissance technologies, radiation protection, oil and chemical accidents, animal welfare, and responder health. A particular emphasis is placed on innovative technologies, including mobile detection and data analysis devices, specialized equipment for oil spill response, and solutions for risk management related to alternative energy sources such as hydrogen and electric vehicles.
Exhibitors from various sectors—including chemical, transportation, environmental technology, and high-tech industries—present their latest products, services, and solutions for the hazardous materials field. This creates an inspiring marketplace where practical expertise, networking, and technological innovation go hand in hand. A special highlight is the annual awards program, which honors outstanding achievements, exceptional operations, and innovative projects in a formal setting. This makes the conference an important meeting place for thought leaders, decision-makers, and emerging talent.
Sacramento and the DoubleTree by Hilton provide the perfect setting for this event. The California capital impresses with its excellent accessibility, vibrant community, and first-class event infrastructure. Thanks to its central location, the conference venue is easily accessible for both local and international guests.
Whether someone is new to the industry, brings years of experience, or is driving innovation, "The Continuing Challenge" stands out as a hands-on, forward-looking event for the hazardous materials sector and a hub for sustainable networks in the HazMat community.
