Connecting Businesses in Times of Need

PSEMA acts as a conduit between the private sector and government agencies to prevent or lessen any negative effects when major emergencies and disasters occur.

We envision a completely integrated preparedness, risk reduction, and response reality between businesses, industry stakeholders and public sector agencies across the United States.

VisionCast 2026

September 16–17, 2026  •  Global Medical Response Office of Emergency Management  •  Lewisville, Texas

One room, one table, and real-world problem-solving among the private-sector leaders who move the needle on resilience. Two days of candid, cross-sector conversation under Chatham House Rules — no keynotes, no breakout rooms, no fluff. Hosted this year by PSEMA corporate member Global Medical Response.

What Members are Saying

Drew Neikirk - Northern Trust
“While many groups only talk about collaboration, PSEMA actually does it. It’s the only place where I consistently find a community of passionate professionals moving beyond theory to share insights, challenge the status quo, and build tangible resilience. The mission isn’t just a talking point, it’s how we show up for one another.”

– Drew Neikirk, Northern Trust

“Key private sector companies are always willing to help communities in crisis. PSEMA serves as an excellent resource for private sector to come together to offer help or receive critical information or support during times of crisis.  They were instrumental in our response to Hurricane Ian in 2022 by providing key information and resources.”
