The annual FIRE Conference returns on Thursday 13 November at the QEII Conference Centre in London, once again offering both in-person and online attendance to ensure the broadest engagement possible across the sector.

Through a programme of plenary sessions, breakout discussions and expert panels, this year will concentrate on ensuring the built environment is fit for tomorrow.
FIRE Conference 2025 will include an early look at the UK’s new administration and what it means for fire safety policy and the construction of homes; planned changes to Approved Document B and the Building Safety Regulator’s updates; and rural and urban wildfire resilience, with an international panel exploring the latest global responses to this growing threat. Delegates will also hear reflections on the Phase Two Grenfell Tower report, and a compelling case study on the Moss Landing battery storage facility fire in California.
Delegates will benefit from dedicated Q&A time with speakers and over two hours of networking with peers, senior leaders and sector influencers, including sponsors Coopers Fire, Fire Chief and Consort Insurance, as well as exhibitors Lubrizol, Red Plug and Rapidrop.
