Fire Industry Association 2026 Events Brochure
FIA Events
At the Fire Industry Association, we believe that great things happen when the industry comes together – not just to talk, but to connect, collaborate, and lead. Our events are more than dates in a diary – they’re milestones in a shared journey to raise fire safety standards, champion innovation, and strengthen the professional bonds that keep our sector thriving.
In 2026, we’re proud to present a dynamic programme designed to bring every part of the fire safety community under one roof. From manufacturers looking to showcase the latest in cuttingedge equipment, to professionals seeking CPD-accredited insights, our calendar offers unmatched opportunities to engage with the people and ideas shaping the future of fire protection. Whether you're attending, exhibiting, or stepping forward as a sponsor, each event is a platform to grow your network, build your reputation, and demonstrate your commitment to life safety.
As Europe's largest fire protection trade association, we draw on over a century of experience – but it's the strength of our member community that powers our impact. These events are where the "FIA family" becomes tangible: where knowledge is shared, challenges are tackled together, and progress is made possible by people like you.
We invite you to be part of it. Explore the year ahead, find your moments to connect, and join us in delivering another powerful year of progress, insight, and industry leadership.
