What is this event?

SFPE's SoCal Chapter holds the annual event for the purpose of funding an academic scholarship as well as providing its members professional development. The day-long event is designed to address a variety of interesting and new topics relating to engineering solutions to fire protection problems.

A variety of presentations are provided in the morning and afternoon, with plenty of time in between to network with professional peers. Exhibitors will display their latest technologies and are available for consultation!
