Our SFPE Chapter's annual seminar and trade show will take place on Thursday, April 16, 2026 in King of Prussia, PA.

Our seminar's topic will focus on data centers.

Data centers strain emergency services by increasing the risk and complexity of fires, impeding access to facilities, and consuming significant resources such as water and electricity. The theme of the seminar is to provide information from technical experts to address the challenges in designing, constructing, and maintaining data centers in urban and rural population centers. We aim to introduce new technologies to aid emergency efforts during large-scale fire disasters and provide responders with examples of data center fires and how these challenges were met.
