What to expect at FDIC – Part 2

FDIC International offers thousands of Fire & Rescue professionals from around the world. Our attendees visit the exhibition to get a first-hand look at the latest products, technologies and services on the market. FDIC International is a one of kind experience, bringing together members of the fire service from around the world to exchange information, network, meet up with old friends and meet new ones. 

Match!  

Taking place again at FDIC is the highly anticipated MATCH! Program, back for another year.   

The FREE MATCH! program at FDIC will help you make the most efficient use of your time by pre-scheduling one-to-one meetings with exhibitors who fit your current sourcing needs. Offering you an efficient and personalised experience before and during the event by empowering you to choose who you want to meet. 

MATCH! is available to officers (or committee members) who are decision-makers and actively sourcing products or services for their department.  

Meetings are pre-scheduled and mutually agreed upon, which allows both parties to come prepared for a productive business conversation while saving precious time at the event. 

Women in Fire Conference  

The Women in Fire Conference will begin with an Opening Ceremony, followed by a lineup of educational classes that provide training, support, and advocacy for women in the fire service. 

The Women in Fire conference will take place on the Monday of the event. With so many interesting talks to attend, we at Fire Buyer have hand-picked some of the most exciting. 

  • Health and Wellness for Women in the Fire Service, led by Amy Hanifan, Operations Chief, Women in Fire; McMinnville (OR) Fire Department United States. 
  • Science to the Station: Translating Science to Usable Outcomes, featuring speaker Sara Jahnke, Director & Senior Scientist – NDRI-USA. 
  • What You Permit, You Promote: Leading in the 21st Century, from speaker Tiffanye Wesley, Deputy Fire Chief – Arlington County (VA) Fire Department. 
  • The Imposter Syndrome: Will the Real You Please Stand Up? This session is also headed up by speaker Tiffanye Wesley, Deputy Fire Chief – Arlington County (VA) Fire Department. 

Exhibitor floor  

FDIC International is the global platform to showcase products and services, boost ROI through sponsorship opportunities, and gain access to thousands of buyers on the show floor and during special events and programs.  

With over 800+ exhibitors, attendees are sure to find the right innovative equipment for their fire department. The exhibitor hall will welcome manufacturers covering SCBA, to fire trucks and ARFF vehicles, PPE and nozzles. In addition to the traditional equipment and apparatus that you can expect to see on the shop floor, expect to see other innovations taking centre stage such as robotics or electric firefighting vehicles, all of which are gaining huge traction in the industry.   

From the Fire Buyer team: we hope to see you there!
