Composed of representatives from across the fire safety and engineering field, as well as partner organizations, government agencies, universities, and related stakeholders, the 2026 Emerging Energy Technologies Summit Program Committee is diligently assembling an impressive lineup of presenters for the event, as well as networking opportunities, and educational experiences unique to the Ottawa area.

On behalf of the program committee, we hope you join us in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in December 2026.
