Venue & conference site

Safety Expo 2027 will be held at the Bergamo Exhibition Centre, also known as Fiera di Bergamo.

Venue address:
Fiera di Bergamo
Via Lunga
24125 Bergamo, Italy

The official venue coordinates are approximately 45°41’1.88″N, 9°42’4.82″E. The exhibition centre is positioned along the Bergamo road network and can be reached from the Bergamo and Seriate motorway exits.

The site will contain exhibition areas, conference and seminar rooms, training spaces, catering facilities and visitor services. The 2027 programme will use different rooms and halls for conferences, seminars, courses and demonstrations.

Full scientific programme

The complete 2027 scientific programme has not yet been published. The organiser has confirmed that the event will feature conferences and seminars addressing regulatory application, practical fire-safety issues, case studies, technical solutions and developments in the prevention sector.

The programme is expected to include several types of professional sessions:

• Fire prevention conferences
• Technical seminars
• Professional training courses
• Maintenance laboratories
• Regulatory updates
• Fire Safety Engineering discussions
• Practical case studies
• Product and technology presentations
• Institutional conferences
• Industry association meetings
• Professional training-credit sessions

Previous editions have included sessions dealing with fire safety engineering, smoke and heat control, compartmentation, passive protection, lithium-ion battery risks, electric-vehicle charging, building safety and digital technologies.

The organiser states that conferences generally last approximately two hours, while seminars generally last around three hours. Conferences and seminars can qualify for professional training credits, with seminars also connected to refresher hours under ex 818/84 where applicable.

Key speakers & experts

The official list of 2027 speakers has not yet been released. Safety Expo traditionally brings together fire-prevention professionals, engineers, architects, technical specialists, representatives of companies and professional associations, as well as representatives connected with the Italian Fire Brigade.

Previous programmes have included specialists such as Piergiacomo Cancelliere, Francesco Saverio Ciani, Claudio Vittori Antisari, Maddalena Rostagno and Fabio Dattilo in discussions concerning digital technologies, BIM, artificial intelligence and Fire Safety Engineering.

Other previous speakers have included technical representatives from companies and professional bodies discussing passive protection, smoke control, fire systems, building safety and regulatory applications. The organiser’s 2027 scientific officer for Fire Prevention is Flaminia Ciccotti.

The final speaker roster should be checked against the official 2027 programme because participation can change as individual sessions are confirmed.

Research & scientific topics

Safety Expo’s scientific content is centred on practical fire prevention and fire protection. Topics can range from regulatory requirements and building design to emerging technologies and changing fire risks.

Recent programmes have addressed:

• Fire Safety Engineering
• Smoke and heat management
• Fire compartmentation
• Passive fire protection
• Fire safety of façades
• Fire safety in historic buildings
• Lithium-ion battery risks
• Electric-vehicle charging
• Fire protection of energy-storage systems
• BIM and digital design
• Artificial intelligence in fire engineering
• Remote sensing
• Building sustainability and safety
• Fire-fighting systems
• Emergency management
• Maintenance and inspection

The 2025 programme, for example, examined lithium-ion batteries in storage and mobility, fire risks associated with electric vehicles and emerging challenges linked to the green economy.

These subjects demonstrate the event’s combination of established fire-safety practice with emerging technical and technological issues.

Sessions, presentations & panels

The programme is structured around conferences, seminars and other professional meetings. Conferences organised in collaboration with Antincendio magazine and the National Fire Brigade provide opportunities to discuss regulatory developments, administrative procedures and practical challenges in fire-prevention planning.

Industry companies and associations also organise two- to three-hour seminars covering technical solutions, regulatory application and real-world case studies. These sessions can provide professional training credits and, where applicable, refresher hours.

Previous panel and discussion formats have included specialists from engineering, architecture, academia, industry and fire-safety organisations. The final 2027 session timetable and individual speakers will be published by the organiser as the programme is completed.

Workshops & demonstrations

Training and maintenance laboratories form another part of Safety Expo’s educational programme. These sessions are designed around practical activities and technical demonstrations rather than conventional conference presentations.

Previous editions included laboratories concerning smoke and heat evacuation systems, including natural and forced smoke extraction and pressure differential systems. Sessions covered maintenance regulations, conformity verification and technical documentation.

The event also uses demonstrations and practical presentations to show how safety products, equipment and systems are applied in real operating environments.

The specific 2027 workshop and demonstration schedule has not yet been announced. Visitors should consult the official programme for confirmed room locations, times, capacity restrictions and any registration requirements.

Registration & ticket types

Access to Safety Expo 2027 is free, but online registration is mandatory for visitors. The official information states that visitor registration and entrance begin at 8:45 am, with activities ending at 6:00 pm.

The standard visitor admission is therefore:

• General Safety Expo visitor access: Free
• Conference and seminar access: Free, subject to available places
• Professional training courses: May require separate paid registration
• Maintenance laboratories: Free where indicated, subject to availability

Previous editions included paid professional training courses. For example, a 2025 two-hour refresher course was listed at approximately $35 USD before Italian VAT, based on the published €30 fee and an exchange rate of approximately €1 = $1.17. The final 2027 prices for any paid courses should be checked when published.

Professional & industry access

Safety Expo is intended primarily for professionals involved in fire prevention, occupational safety, engineering, construction, maintenance, emergency management and related technical sectors.

The organiser identifies potential professional audiences including engineers, architects, surveyors, HSE managers, consultants, safety officers, fire-prevention technicians, inspectors, trainers, designers, risk managers, purchasing managers and technical department managers.

Professional visitors can attend technical presentations, examine products, meet suppliers and participate in training activities. Professional development credits and refresher hours are available through qualifying sessions.

Exhibitors & pharmaceutical companies

Safety Expo is focused on fire prevention and safety rather than the pharmaceutical industry. Its exhibitors therefore primarily represent fire-protection, safety, emergency, technical and industrial sectors rather than pharmaceutical companies.

The organiser lists product areas including fire-fighting robots, fire-fighting vehicles, fire-resistant cabinets, flameproof fabrics, hose reels, hydrants, pumps, integrated fire-fighting systems, smoke and heat control systems, smoke extraction, thermographic systems and ventilation technologies.

The 2025 edition featured more than 160 exhibitors according to the organiser. The 2027 exhibitor directory is being developed, and the official exhibitor page should be used for the confirmed company list.

Networking & professional meetings

Networking is a central part of Safety Expo’s professional format. The organiser describes the event as a meeting place where fire-prevention professionals, companies, associations and institutions can exchange ideas, examine technologies and develop professional relationships.

Exhibitor stands provide opportunities to discuss products and technical services directly with suppliers. Conferences and seminars create additional settings for professional discussions involving engineers, technical specialists, associations and institutional representatives.

The event also brings together professionals from different parts of the fire-prevention supply chain, including designers, installers, maintenance specialists, consultants, managers and manufacturers.

Event rules & accreditation

Visitors must complete the required online registration before accessing Safety Expo 2027. The organiser states that registration is mandatory even though event access is free.

Certain conferences, seminars and laboratories have capacity limits, meaning admission can depend on available places. Training courses may have separate registration and payment requirements.

Professional training credits and refresher hours are linked to qualifying sessions rather than automatically applying to every activity. The organiser identifies CFP credits and refresher hours under relevant Italian professional and safety regulations.

Visitors seeking accreditation or professional credits should check the requirements of the individual session before attending.
