Fire & Safety Conference

With rising concerns of global warming, coupled with rapid industrialisation, governments and the private sector have become vigilant in creating safer communities for people whilst aiming for zero instances of fire emergencies. With advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence, organisations today have better chances of predicting fire outbreaks and other emergencies in addition to formulating better policies that will enable safer and smarter cities.

The EISE Fire & Safety Conference offers a prime platform for global leaders from the fire, safety, and security industry to convene, and discuss innovative strategies to mitigate fire and lay the foundation to creating safer communities and industries.
