    NHTSA Region IV
    Law Enforcement Liaison Conference

    Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista

    One Team. One Goal. Save Lives.

    Welcome to the 2027 NHTSA Region IV Law Enforcement Liaison Conference

    You asked for Orlando… and we listened! When we surveyed our Region IV partners about where they wanted to gather, the response was nearly unanimous: bring the conference to Orlando! So, for the first time, Florida is excited to welcome Region IV to one of the most exciting destinations in the country for two days of connection, collaboration, and learning.

    Your conference registration fee includes access to all conference sessions and activities, plus breakfast and lunch throughout both days. Our program is designed to bring you timely, practical information you can take back to your agency, with sessions focused on today's most important traffic safety challenges, innovative approaches to enforcement and prevention, emerging issues, and strategies that can help us continue making a difference on our roadways. You'll also have opportunities to connect one-on-one with vendors and traffic safety partners, explore the latest products, technology, and resources, and build relationships with professionals from across NHTSA Region IV.

    We welcome our law enforcement liaison and traffic safety partners from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee for the 2027 NHTSA Region IV LEL Conference.
