The Fire Safety Event 2026, co-located with the Security Event at the NEC, is the UK’s most important gathering for fire safety professionals. Following significant legislative changes in the UK building safety landscape, this event provides the clarity and technical expertise required for property owners and safety officers to remain compliant. GovNet’s involvement ensures a strong presence from local government and housing association representatives, making this a pivotal meeting point for those responsible for public safety.
The event features the "Fire Safety Theatre," which hosts deep-dive sessions on the latest fire safety regulations, including the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety (England) Regulations. Experts will lead discussions on the challenges of retrofitting older buildings with modern fire suppression systems and the complexities of managing fire risk in high-rise residential blocks.
On the exhibition floor, over 100 manufacturers will showcase the next generation of smoke detection, fire alarms, passive fire protection materials, and emergency lighting. A new highlight for 2026 is the "EV Fire Safety Zone," addressing the emerging risks associated with electric vehicle charging in parking structures and the specialized suppression techniques required. This event is essential for anyone involved in the lifecycle of a building, from architects and developers to facility managers and fire risk assessors. It offers a unique opportunity to speak directly with regulators and testing bodies, ensuring that the products and processes being implemented are fit for purpose and legally compliant.
