Two great events - One location

Fire Safety on the Railway is co-located with Improving Fire Safety through Simulation and Modelling 2026, 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.

Who should attend?

All those involved in the following areas are strongly recommended to join this event, including:

  • Railway engineering
  • fire safety
  • Rail infrastructure engineering
  • Rolling stock design and manufacture
  • Fire emergency planning
  • Health and safety
  • Safety, risk and compliance

How will I benefit?

  • Hear from leading engineers, safety representatives, and industry experts on the latest developments in fire safety design, testing, and regulation.
  • Explore materials engineering, fire dynamics in tunnels and rolling stock, evacuation modelling, the integration of fire safety systems into railway infrastructure and much more.
  • Learn from real-world examples of incident management, system performance and monitoring, and cross-industry collaboration.
  • Discover new technologies in fire detection, suppression, and materials performance designed to enhance passenger and asset protection.
