Thursday Night Special Anniversary Event

Two performers on two facing pianos take turns playing songs that are mostly requested by the audience. There are no rules about what can or cannot be requested so a Dueling Pianist must be well versed in ALL forms of popular music: pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, r&b, blues, classical, etc.

The main focus of a Dueling Pianos show is participation and so every song will involve the audience in one way or another. Performers might use sing-along, clap-along, dancing, toasting, roasting, improv comedy, comedic bits, or a virtuosic musical performance simply intended to impress (on the piano or vocally).

Registration is open for our 25th Anniversary Conference!

Our first program was run in 1999 as the Hurricane Preparedness Seminar. It was a single day event to promote local issues to coastal area emergency managers hosting approximately two hundred people. Shortly after we expanded to the two-day New Jersey Hurricane Conference.

The events of 9-11-2001 changed our industry and our communities. The conference developed into the New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Conference to meet these changing demands.  Providing a broader range of training and to the first responder community and the private sector emergency preparedness.

For our 25th anniversary we are expecting over 1,500 attendees over five days of training, breakouts, and special events with over 75 vendors supporting our conference.  We look forward to seeing you on the Boardwalk in 2024!
