Testimonials:

“I’m impressed with IFSJ for their organisation skills for this event. It’s truly incredible bringing together some superb partnerships with the Institution of Fire Engineers, Dubai Civil Defense, and industry leaders to make such an event worthwhile. Brilliant.”

Paul Pope, Global Head of Fire and Life Safety Business – Ajax Systems

“The event has been fantastic. It’s really good to see so many passionate people from around the fire safety industry in one room, and what a better place to have it than where I call home. It’s been fantastic: from the panels to the speeches to networking in general, it’s been a really worthwhile day.”

Paul Davison, CEO of Proteus
