There will be two seminars held at FIM Expo, the Fire Industry Manufacturer’s Expo, run by the Fire Industry Association (FIA). The expo will have a range of fire detection and alarm manufacturers to visit and speak to, as well as free tea and coffee and light refreshments.
There will be two seminars running at the event – one in the morning at 11am, and repeated again at 2pm. Doors for the expo open at 9.30am and the event closes at 4pm. A free lunch will be provided for all attendees, with the opportunity to network with other professionals and visit each stand in a relaxed environment.
