WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Very well-run event. This was my first time attending and it was very organized and seemed to have a variety of exhibitors….We look forward to exhibiting next year. We found there was a lot of opportunity for our product at this show.”

Join us and thousands of your colleagues from around the world for the industry’s premier event. It’s where a diverse crowd of fire and life safety professionals gather to learn, network, evaluate suppliers and their products, and participate in the code development process.

The NFPA Conference & Expo® has been called the “can’t-miss safety show.” As an exhibitor, you will come face to face with an audience that is actively involved in the specification and purchase of fire- and safety-related products, systems, and services for facilities they design, build, manage, and work in.

You’ll also experience world-class speakers, cutting-edge education, and hands-on demonstrations. You could even participate in the code development process by voting on code updates at the Technical Meeting.*

Above all, connect and network with decision makers in the industry. The NFPA Conference & Expo is your stage for bringing to life the products and services needed to meet the needs of our changing world and maintain compliance in facilities of every kind.
