FeuerTrutz 2026: Supporting Program Focuses on Practical Applications, Knowledge Exchange, and Expert Analysis
With a carefully expanded supporting program, FeuerTrutz 2026 emphasizes practical knowledge transfer and relevant industry dialogue. New formats and additional live demonstrations provide context for current developments and future requirements in preventive fire protection.
On 24 and 25 June 2026, the fire protection industry will gather at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center for FeuerTrutz. In addition to a diverse range of exhibitors, visitors can look forward to a comprehensive supporting program featuring expert presentations, panel discussions, and practical live demonstrations.
Especially against the backdrop of a tight construction market, the event remains stable and is developing solidly at the previous year’s level. With a carefully refined supporting program, FeuerTrutz offers specialist planners, experts, government agencies, and representatives from industry and contractors a reliable platform for information, professional analysis, and personal exchange.
The supporting program combines in-depth expertise with practical formats and addresses key issues in preventive fire protection.
FeuerTrutz Arena
In addition to the Fire Protection Congress, the FeuerTrutz Arena serves as the central hub for expert presentations, industry insights, and discussion panels. Current topics in preventive fire protection are examined from multiple perspectives.
Key subjects include standards and regulatory developments, innovations in structural and systems-based fire protection, and evolving requirements related to planning, construction, and building operations.
The combination of expert presentations and dialogue-oriented formats encourages valuable industry exchange, allowing participants to discuss developments within their practical context.
Forum by asecos academy: Knowledge for Everyday Operations
The Forum by asecos academy strengthens the supporting program with practical workplace fire safety content. Topics include risk assessments, hazardous substance storage requirements, and the safe handling of lithium-ion batteries.
Among the highlights are Industry Insights sessions and a live experimental presentation demonstrating the risks associated with hazardous substances. Oliver Cortes from Mannheimer Versicherung will also provide a fire insurer’s perspective on lithium-ion battery safety and discuss key risks that arise during insurance claims.
These sessions connect theory with real-world experience, helping attendees better understand safe operational practices.
The Fire Protection EXPERIENCE
The Fire Protection EXPERIENCE outdoor demonstration area allows visitors to witness fire prevention technologies and solutions in action.
For 2026, the program has been expanded significantly. Four outdoor fire tests will be conducted, compared to two in previous years. These demonstrations provide additional opportunities to observe how materials, systems, and fire suppression technologies perform during fire scenarios.
Indoor demonstrations within the exhibition halls will further showcase innovative fire protection solutions from participating exhibitors.
New Format: ZUKUNFTSRAUM Powered by Hekatron
A major addition to the FeuerTrutz 2026 supporting program is Zukunftsraum (Future Space), powered by Hekatron.
This interactive area focuses on future-oriented themes that will influence preventive fire protection, including digital applications, artificial intelligence, workforce development, and evolving workplace environments.
Through lectures and discussions, attendees will gain practical insights into how these developments may affect planning, operations, and fire safety management. Exhibitors will also demonstrate how future-focused technologies are already being implemented in practice.
Startups, Workshops, and Networking Opportunities
The supporting program also includes initiatives designed to encourage innovation and industry collaboration.
At the fully booked startups@FeuerTrutz joint stand, 13 young companies from Germany and across Europe will present innovative solutions and emerging technologies that are helping shape the future of preventive fire protection.
Another new feature for 2026 is the FeuerTrutz STUDIO. Located directly on the exhibition grounds, this mobile video studio will host short interviews with exhibitors and industry experts. These discussions will explore current industry topics and extend event engagement through digital channels.
Networking remains an important element of the event. FeuerTrutz After Work will be held for the first time in the Messepark, providing exhibitors, conference delegates, and visitors with an opportunity to connect in a relaxed setting featuring live music, cocktails, and food. Additional networking opportunities will include the Happy Hour at the FeuerTrutz Arena on the second day of the exhibition.
Fire Protection Congress
Running alongside the exhibition, the FeuerTrutz Fire Protection Congress will deliver in-depth technical discussions covering some of the industry’s most important challenges and developments.
Presentation topics include:
- Fire safety plans and the technical design of building services systems
- Fire safety in existing buildings and timber construction
- Current developments in building regulations and standards
- Opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in planning, testing, and evaluation
The congress will also address emerging challenges, including the integration of photovoltaic systems and lithium-ion batteries, the use of digital technologies, and the adoption of reused building products in fire protection applications.
Additional discussions will focus on fire protection requirements for critical infrastructure and specialist facilities such as hospitals.
