The FireTech 2021 Technology & Innovation Expo brings together Tech, Industry, Emergency service agencies, Research and Government to showcase the latest technology and Innovation in the firetech sector and provide insights from sector experts like Shane Fitzsimmons.

The program includes:
- A virtual expo where delegates can explore the virtual expo hall and engage with over 50 companies exhibiting their technology solutions in early detection, Data, Satellites, Sensor networks, Robotics, AI, Advanced Suppressants, Big Data and Cloud Platforms.
- Featuring case studies of the latest tech in action and reaping the benefits of firetech.
- Exploring how the investment in mitigation technologies can radically reduce recovery costs.
- Insights from the likes of Shane Fitzsimmons (Resilience NSW), Mike Wassing (QFES), Sue Keay (QLD AI Hub) and other sector experts.

Expo Partners
A virtual conference with a difference
This is not your average Zoom call. Instead you get to explore an expo, engage with exhibitors on a 1:1 basis, connect with colleagues in the networking zone and watch talks with high production values. If you're in QLD, join us in person.
