As Saudi Arabia undertakes ambitious infrastructure development and GIGA projects across the Kingdom, fire and life safety have emerged as critical pillars in national planning and construction. With investments in modern urban centers, transportation networks, and industrial complexes accelerating, there is a growing emphasis on integrating cutting-edge fire protection technologies, international safety codes, and sophisticated prevention systems from the earliest design phases. This commitment ensures that the Kingdom’s progress is not only visionary—but safeguarded by sustainable, world-class life safety standards.
At this year’s conference, we’re committed to reshaping the future of fire safety by driving bold conversations with industry leaders, regulatory authorities, and international experts who will convene to address the evolving fire safety landscape through specialized tracks. We’re also proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for this year’s Fire Protection & Technology Summit, bringing unparalleled expertise in fire protection to the show.
