The annual hybrid FIRE Conference 2026 returns this year to lead the conversation on how we build a truly fire‑resilient future.

Designed for professionals across fire safety, engineering, regulation and the wider built environment, the conference provides a focused platform for insight, challenge and collaboration at a critical moment for the sector. This year’s one‑day programme tackles the most pressing issues shaping policy and practice, with headline sessions including “Is the Building Safety Act working?”, “Driving professional reform across the sector”, and “What should Government’s 2027 priorities be?”.

The 2026 programme has been deliberately streamlined, with fewer but longer sessions that allow for deeper exploration of complex topics, meaningful knowledge sharing, extended audience Q&A, and valuable networking opportunities that ensure practical takeaways.

We are delighted to welcome PartB (https://www.partb.co.uk/) who return as our headline partner for FIRE Conference 2026. An award‑winning team of fire engineering specialists, PartB is widely recognised for its expertise, technical leadership and commitment to advancing fire safety across the built environment.
