The speaker line-up for this year’s conference features a mix of fire service personnel and industry experts, sharing insight and experience on topics including planning new facilities, data-based estate rationalisation, EV charging infrastructure, and developing estate standards while continuing to innovate.
That balance of operational knowledge and private sector expertise is what makes FSDW such a valuable event. Delegates hear directly from the people managing fire service estates day to day, alongside the consultants, manufacturers, and specialist suppliers helping to deliver the next generation of facilities.
