Fire Conference 2024

FIRE Conference returns with a focus on driving collaboration and cohesion

The annual FIRE Conference returns later this year on 24 October with a packed programme addressing key issues from across the sector.

Developed and hosted by the Fire Protection Association, Institution of Fire Engineers, National Fire Chiefs Council and the Fire Sector Federation, the one-day conference will provide key updates and foster discussion and debate through a format of plenary sessions and workshops.

Key subject areas for this year’s instalment include why deregulation occurs and how we manage it, enforcement updates, emergency tactical response, future-proofing fire risk assessors and a focus on the Luton car park fire. Plans are also in place for the British Standards Institution and the Royal Institute of British Architects to host plenary sessions during the day.

On the back of another successful event in 2023 which saw over 500 delegates in attendance, FIRE Conference will continue its hybrid format, hosted both in-person at the IET, Savoy Place in London as well as online.

We are delighted to announce Redplug Group as the headline sponsor for this year’s event, in addition to other sponsors and exhibitors including Sentura Group (Firechief), Coopers Fire, Firefly, Adexon and Distinction Door. We are also pleased to confirm that the Worshipful Company of Firefighters will host their annual fundraising dinner at the IET directly following the conference.

Conference tickets are now on sale and sponsorship packages have been selling fast with workshop partner opportunities and exhibition stands remaining. Further details of the event, including the programme and sponsorship costs, will be available on the organisers’ websites.

We look forward to welcoming delegates to what has become a vital annual conference to discuss, debate, share knowledge and drive progress in an era of fundamental change and reform.
