Fire Middle East Conference 2026

The Fire Middle East Conference is run by Fire Middle East magazine, the region's long-running fire and safety title, and powered by Potter Global Technologies. The invite-only, one-day event gathers senior fire protection, life safety and emergency response decision-makers in Riyadh to discuss the challenges raised by Saudi Arabia's giga-projects, smart cities, airports and large events under Vision 2030.

Conference pillars

The agenda is organised around four themes and includes keynotes, panel discussions, a TED-style talk, product showcases and a networking reception.

• Securing Vision 2030: giga-projects and smart cities

• Region-specific threats: wildland fires, flooding and aviation firefighting
