Fire Security Theatre
Walk away with clearer answers to the questions that slow your work down. Free across all three days, the Fire Safety Theatre is built to save you time on the things that matter most: keeping pace with the standards, choosing the right systems, and making the calls that keep your work compliant and your projects moving. Spend an hour in the room and you’ll leave with something you can use back on the job.
Delivered with Fire Industry Alliance as Official Association Partner, sessions are shaped by practitioners and led by independent voices, not vendor pitches. Whether you’re working through NCC 2025, applying AS1851 across a portfolio, or weighing up where new technologies fit, the program is built for contractors, engineers, specifiers, and the people responsible for buildings in operation.
