INTERSCHUTZ in Hannover will feature an exciting addition to its program: on June 3 and 4, 2026, around 300 international chief fire officers and strategic leaders in the fire service will come together at the trade fair for the premiere of the “FEU Leadership Conference.” To formalise this collaboration, the FEU and INTERSCHUTZ signed a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the 56th FEU Council meeting in Limassol, Cyprus, on November 8, 2024.

The FEU is a strong network of European fire officers associations and national fire departments, dedicated to connecting full-time fire and rescue service personnel across Europe. It facilitates the exchange of best practices and collaborates on initiatives and projects aimed at enhancing public safety throughout Europe.

“Our commitment to public safety and resilience is strengthened by our shared dedication. Leadership is a cornerstone in shaping our future, and through this partnership, we’re moving closer to that goal. Together at INTERSCHUTZ 2026, we look forward to connecting, learning, and building a safer Europe and beyond”, says Stephan Wevers, FEU President.

“We are delighted to have secured the FEU Leadership Conference for INTERSCHUTZ 2026. Welcoming around 300 international chief fire officers and strategic leaders from across Europe is an absolute highlight for us and our exhibitors, visitors, and partners,” says Bernd Heinold, Project Director of INTERSCHUTZ at Deutsche Messe AG. “Networking, learning, exchanging ideas, discussing current and future challenges, and finding solutions together are at the heart of INTERSCHUTZ. Having FEU 2026 join this network is a tremendous signal for the global blue light community,” Heinold adds.
