Tuesday will be all about building safety.

On Wednesday, we’ll be exploring the latest in fire safety innovation and technology with an expert panel debating the benefits and challenges of embracing IoT.

Rounding it all on Thursday will be a deep dive into the latest legislative updates and how they affect fire safety professionals, changes to competency standards and a look ahead at what’s next for the fire industry with a panel of leading specialists.

The Fire Protection Association’s (FPA) InfoZone seminar theatre returns with an agenda covering a wide range of crucial talking points in the fire safety industry for attendees. Sessions will run from 10:00- 17:00 on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th May, and from 10:00-16:00 on Thursday 19th May, taking place on the FPA stand F2050.
