PERF is pleased to announce that our fourth annual national ICAT conference and recertification will take place February 9–10, 2026, at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach in Clearwater, Florida!  

This conference and recertification are designed for all agencies and all instructors, and we encourage all ICAT trainers to attend the conference and recertification for the latest curriculum and learn about the proper ways to deliver the new material to your students.  

ICAT has changed considerably over the years: We have added three new modules since the original ICAT curriculum was developed. PERF will recertify officers who have previously attended an ICAT training session, providing them with an updated training certificate. Attendees will leave with a two-hour block of in-service presentation and training guide to ensure agencies are continuing education in ICAT for their organization.

The recertification is strongly recommended for those who have not attended an ICAT train-the-trainer session in the last five years. 

The registration fee for the conference is $500.  

Conference registration information (including reserving a room at the hotel) will be posted on our website in the coming weeks.

We hope to see you in Clearwater!
