Tuesday, April 21 | 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 full-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, warehouses, metal and steel mills, pharmaceutical plants, automotive and aerospace factories, and more.
