A date that cannot be missed in the calendars of fire protection professionals is the renowned VdS-FireSafety Cologne, which will take place on the 6th and 7th of December, 2023. 

International trade fair

Due to the growing success of the event, the large, international trade fair will be held for the first time in the larger exhibition hall 10.1, which will accommodate even more exhibitors and live demonstrations than before. 

In addition, trade show visitors will benefit from a varied program on the trade show stage, as well as separately bookable trade conferences in the adjoining halls.

International VdS conference 'Fire extinguishing systems'

The conference 'Fire Extinguishing Systems' will take place at the VdS-FireSafety Cologne 2023 with an international focus and German-English simultaneous translation, and will cover both days of the event as traditionally every second year. Current case studies and solutions from Germany and abroad will be discussed.

The other conference classics of the VdS-FireSafety Cologne are also not to be missed. In total, these conferences are on the program:

  • Structural Fire Protection (06.12.2023)

VdS-FireSafetyTalk and forums

The two VdS-FireSafetyTalk panel discussions on the trade fair stage were real crowd-pullers at the last VdS-FireSafety Cologne. In 2023, all trade fair visitors will again be able to listen free of charge as experts discuss important industry trends.

Also back on the trade fair stage: the Future Forum Fire Protection and the Exhibitor forum with other current topics.
