IMPROVING FIRE SAFETY THROUGH
SIMULATION AND MODELLING 2026
11 November 2026
Austin Court, Birmingham
Join leaders shaping the future of fire safety
Hazards can occur in all environments; protection against the risks of fire, smoke and detonation must be understood to ensure safety in design. Fire modelling is an essential tool for mechanical engineers to effectively manage this risk.
Attendees will come away with a clear understanding of which tools, software and development platforms are the most effective in individual, real world scenarios. Understand the advantages and pitfalls of different approaches and come away from the seminar with a greater practical awareness of fire modelling best practice.
Two great events - One location
Improving Fire Safety through Simulation and Modelling is co-located with Fire Safety on the Railway, giving attendees access to two specialist fire safety events in one location and date, broadening the professional community you’ll engage with. This alignment offers an excellent chance to network with a wider audience of engineers and safety professionals, attend sessions from both events and deepen your knowledge across different fire safety contexts.
Our 2026 themes include:
Emerging fuel risks from batteries and hydrogen
AI-driven wildfire modelling
Transport infrastructure
Structural fire
