“LEARNING LESSONS, SHARING KNOWLEDGE, SAVING LIVES, REDUCING LOSSES”
 

The aim of the conference is to look at global problems and global solutions, to seek to identify the causes of fire losses in our member countries, to see how these causes differ between countries, to seek solutions and to identify research needs.

So, our conference this year will bring together experts from a diverse background of knowledge, so that we can share their experience and learning from past and present events and for us to be able to discuss together our future direction.

As well as presentations on global themes by guest speakers there will be parallel, structured workshops on the problems facing the fire community in our various countries, providing an opportunity for all of us to exchange and share the knowledge and understanding that comes from being fully engaged in our international family.  It is intended that the global themes will include education, research, competency, regulation, quality in construction and emerging energy technologies, as well as firefighter safety and technical rescue.
