The three day event will focus on different themes each day, with Tuesday 18th concentrating on fire engineering, design and testing and Wednesday 19th on risk management, insurance and construction. Allianz is sponsoring the third day of the event on Thursday 20 June, which focusses exclusively on firefighting in tall buildings.
