FIM Expo and FIA Conference

So, what do we have planned for our week in Cardiff?

We are bringing our industry recognised FIM Expo on Tuesday 13th September and our very first Fire Conference on Wednesday 14th September to the Principality Stadium!

FIM Expo:

The Fire Industry Manufacturers’ (FIM) Expo features many of the UK's leading fire detection and alarm manufacturers and showcases the latest products and developments in this sector.

What makes FIM Expo different to many other trade exhibitions is the informal format, regional focus, and ability to see the latest from all the major fire detection manufacturers in one place. It also includes  complimentary seminars covering a key topic affecting the FD&A world. If you are curious to see how our last FIM Expo went – click here

What do we have planned?

FIM Expo: Come meet and network with top manufacturers (around 25) in the industry, where you will get great and valuable information on their industry-leading products, and you can even place orders with them on the day. A fantastic opportunity to build business relationships for both 2022 and this new decade by connecting with both potential and existing clients. This is a great chance to expand your own brand or find brands that you want and need.

Free CPD accredited seminars: maintain and enhance the knowledge and skills you need to deliver a professional service to your customers, clients, and the community. These seminars will be delivered by the FIA Technical Team on key topics to the fire industry and provide a great opportunity to gain free CPD points – more details to follow soon.

Latest Innovations in the Fire Industry: Stay ahead of the competition and have a glimpse into the future of this industry by meeting and speaking to the people behind the products that are driving this industry.

The Exhibitors: Here is a list of the Companies signed up to exhibit at FIM Expo Cardiff: 

Drinks Reception:Networking: Enjoy in-depth conversations with a diverse range of stakeholders in the fire industry particularly from installation & maintenance companies and end-users. At FIM Expo Belfast we had over 180+ fire professionals attend. What’s more, we know how important great conversations can be in business, so why not put yourself on the best platform to boost sales and meet customers both old and new whilst enjoying a free lunch.
