The Fire Safety Leaders Summit presents a distinguished line-up of industry experts and keynote speakers. Gain valuable insights and expertise on best practices, regulatory updates, and current topics influencing the fire safety sector. Stay informed and inspired by leaders at the forefront of the industry.
Led by the Women in Industry Network, this panel explores representation across the fire sector and how professional culture, working environments, and leadership structures shape participation and progression. The discussion will look at how underrepresentation in different roles affects the sector as a whole - from workforce development to decision-making and long-term sustainability - and how practical, realistic change can be achieved through better understanding, leadership, and collaboration. This session offers a sector-wide conversation on how the fire industry can continue to evolve in a way that benefits organisations, professionals, and the future of the sector.
Organised by the FPA, this engaging panel session will tackle industry concerns around fire safety in modern methods of construction (MMC). The discussion will consider gaps between innovation and safety systems in the construction sector, including best practice challenges in the MMC industry and the need for fire safety to be on the agenda across all sectors.
Panellists will also discuss the danger of MMC fire risks being treated the same as those in traditional construction, particularly given the reliance on contractors to ensure fire stopping measures are installed correctly once materials are taken on-site.
As residential buildings become smarter and more data-driven, fire detection is evolving beyond standalone alarms.

From remote monitoring and predictive maintenance to integration with wider smart building platforms, discover how connected technologies are reshaping residential fire safety — and what it means for the future of protection in homes.
Managing fire safety across large, multi-site estates presents significant challenges, from fragmented reporting systems to limited visibility of risk trends. This session explores how data-driven approaches are transforming fire safety management from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage.
