FIRE 2022 is set to return this year in a hybrid format, taking place both online and in-person at Aviva’s Headquarters in London, on 18th October 2022.
The conference is traditionally organised collaboratively by the Fire Protection Association (FPA), Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), and the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), however, this year, the team have also welcomed the Fire Sector Federation (FSF) as a key contributor and supporter of the event. The four parties will work together to create the event programme and discuss and debate the major challenges affecting the fire safety landscape.
The one-day conference will include presentations and workshops by expert speakers from the UK and around the world. The themes for this year include competency and a focus on legislation changes, as well as a look ahead to the future challenges faced by our sector, considering climate change, sustainability, and the introduction of new fuels.
Speaking about Fire 2022, Jonathan O’Neill OBE, Managing Director of the FPA, explained: “Following the success of last year’s conference and the emphasis on collaboration, we are pleased to come together once again with the IFE and NFCC, and to be joined by the FSF to deliver this important event. FIRE Conference provides a much-needed annual touchpoint to discuss, debate, share knowledge and most importantly, influence change to aid the necessary shift in reform that is so crucial.”
The conference will open at 09:30, as Mark Lewis, Chief Underwriting Officer – Commercial Lines Business, Aviva, welcomes delegates to the event. Covering myriad topics pertinent to fire safety professionals throughout, the day will close at 17:30 with a two hour networking drinks reception. Some of the key discussions will cover:
