COMMUNITY

For the sector, by the sector

To create an event that truly fulfils the needs of the blue light profession, and in turn the businesses that support them, we ensure that those within the sector build the event with us.

To help us achieve this, we have created a number of boards and committees to help steer all areas of the event.

We're building partnerships with key associations, federations and charities who are as passionate as us about helping to create an event that supports not only the profession but those businesses that service the industry too.
