PartB Returns as Headline Sponsor of FIRE Conference 2026

Fire safety doesn't stand still. Regulations are developing, expectations are rising and the sector continues to examine how lessons learnt can be turned into practical improvements for the industry at large.

That's why we feel it's so important for us to return as headline sponsor of FIRE Conference 2026.

We care about doing things properly, so we're attending one of the fire sector’s key annual events, joining professionals from across the built environment for a one-day conference in London (and online).

Of the event, PartB's Jamie Davis said “We firmly believe in coming together, assessing where we are and what we need to do to reach a robust, accountable system of fire and building safety. We’re pleased to be here again this year to take stock of where we are – and to keep the focus on where we need to go.”

Rather than trying to cover a large number of subjects in brief, this year’s programme features fewer, longer sessions to really explore the major questions facing the industry at this critical juncture. Some of these questions include the impact of the Building Safety act, the continued development of competence and professional standards, and the priorities the Government should consider for 2027. The schedule will also look beyond the UK, considering lessons from recent international fire incidents, alongside the mental health and wellbeing of fire safety professionals.

Longer sessions, audience questions and networking throughout the day are intended to encourage candid discussion rather than one-way presentation. For PartB, that emphasis matters. Lasting improvements in fire and building safety depend on disciplines and organisations sharing evidence, challenging assumptions and remaining accountable for the outcomes they help to create.

For PartB, supporting FIRE Conference 2026 reflects our commitment to holistically consider practical, accountable and technically robust fire safety. By bringing expertise together and keeping the conversation focused on real-world outcomes, the sector can continue to strengthen standards and build a safer, more resilient built environment.

Our involvement also reflects the broader direction of PartB’s work. We aim to help clients manage all their fire safety matters, bringing engineering, risk reduction and practical experience together rather than treating each issue in isolation. The annual FIRE Conference offers an opportunity to test that thinking alongside the wider sector and to keep attention on the work still required.

The FIRE Conference is jointly organised by the Fire Protection Association, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and the Fire Sector Confederation, and is geared towards professionals across fire safety, engineering, regulation and the wider built environment. It focusses onmeaningful discission around insights, challenges and collaboration at a critical moment for the sector. The event also takes place online.
