Indiana Convention Center
The Industrial Fire Summit at FDIC International brings together fire service and industrial safety leaders to address the most pressing challenges facing today’s industrial and municipal responders. This two-day program is designed for those working at the intersection of fire, safety, and industry, where high-stakes incidents require innovation, collaboration, and leadership.
This summit provides a dedicated environment for peer exchange, hands-on problem solving, and practical dialogue, away from the busy pace of the main FDIC International experience. Attendees will gain strategies, lessons learned, and connections that translate directly to improved response, leadership, and safety outcomes.
Industries represented include manufacturing plants, chemical plants, oil refineries, petrochemical facilities, pipeline companies, power plants, food processing facilities, warehouses, metal and steel mills, pharmaceutical plants, automotive and aerospace factories, and more.
A refinery fire, a confined-space rescue, a release at 2 a.m. — the people who have run those calls will be in Indianapolis. So should you.
The Industrial Summit is where the week starts, not where it ends:
- Industrial classroom sessions all week, taught by responders who work in plants, terminals, and refineries
- Industrial vendors on the show floor, so you can compare your team’s equipment side by side
Bring your team. Take it back to your site.

What Attendees Say
“Attending the Industrial Summit at FDIC was extremely valuable because it brought together professionals from a wide range of industries to share challenges, lessons learned, and innovative solutions related to fire, life safety, and emergency response. The networking opportunities alone made the event worthwhile, providing access to experts and peers who can offer fresh perspectives and practical insights long after the conference ends. I highly recommend participating in the Industrial Summit for anyone looking to expand their knowledge, build meaningful industry connections, and stay ahead of emerging fire protection challenges.”

“After years leading emergency response at a refinery, and now supporting programs across multiple sites, I’ve learned there’s no substitute for hearing directly from the people who’ve been in it. The Industrial Summit is where they’ll tell you what actually happened, including the parts that didn’t go well.”
