Join us at the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) for a productive day of sharing insights & knowledge on fire safety compliance and networking with industry peers.
Date: Thursday 20th October 2022 Time: 1pm - 5pm
Location: Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET London: Savoy Place), 2 Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL
As a result of the release of various fire safety measures that have been released recently in the UK eg Fire Safety Act, Building Safety Act & BS8644-1 Digital Management of Fire Safety Information Standard, it's clear that Architecture, Engineering & Construction companies will have to start thinking about the ways to incorporate these legislations into their daily workflows & projects to remain compliant sooner than later.
But where do you start? Join us at the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) on 20th October where we'll be joined by industry experts to provide some guidance on understanding the new fire safety measures and how you can begin to tackle them with the help of data & digital tech.
