SFPE Engineering Solutions Symposium: Modern Storage Challenges

Starts:  Aug 12, 2025 09:00 (ET)
Ends:  Aug 14, 2025 17:00 (ET)
Join us for a technical engineering symposium dedicated to modern fire safety challenges in storage facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers. Storage occupancies are among the most challenging occupancies from an overall fire safety perspective. Many variables must be considered when designing fire protection and life safety systems for such facilities. This 2-day, in-person event will discuss fire protection challenges in modern storage facilities. 
 
An outstanding panel of experts comes together to share their knowledge and best practices with fire protection engineers, designers, manufacturers, facility owners and managers, and first responders. 
 
Topics covered during the event will focus on automated storage, protection of multi-row racks, cold storage design considerations, lithium-ion battery storage, and fire department response to large storage occupancies. Following the completion of the two days of educational content, day 3 will consist of a large-scale fire test (LSFT) at the nearby UL Solutions campus in Northbrook, IL.
We will soon have more details about the schedule and speakers. Registration will open in May.
