Aimed at thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators from around the globe, the event will provide participants with innovative insights, strategies, and best practices to address current challenges in fire operations. With 130 years of experience in fire safety, including fire prevention, wildfire preparedness, electrical safety, hazardous materials, community risk reduction, and public safety, NFPA, as a technical partner has worked diligently alongside its IFOC committee members to shape the conference theme, agenda, and the speaker lineup.
