The Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF), the research affiliate of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is hosting the 26th annual Suppression, Detection and Signaling Research and Applications Conference from September 12-14, 2023, at the Crowne Plaza Chicago-Northbrook in Northbrook, IL.
The Fire Suppression, Detection, and Signaling Research and Applications Conference (SUPDET) will address the latest developments in research, technology, and applications for the fire protection community.
Since 1997, the Foundation has organized the annual SUPDET conference, bringing together leading experts in the field of fire protection engineering including designers, manufacturers, installers, and AHJs, to share recent research and developments on techniques used for fire suppression, detection, and signaling.
This year’s program features 30 presentations focusing on the latest topics and benefits from research related to energy storage systems (ESS), lithium-ion batteries, fluorine-free and other foams, cybersecurity, emerging technologies such as AI, and more.
