SFPE's symposia are structured to convene and educate engineers on emerging topics and challenges facing the fire protection profession. The SFPE's symposia technical program is comprised of presentations solicited by the program committee members as opposed to a general Call for Papers. These programs are delivered by distinguished experts in the relevant field and the format maximizes the exchange of ideas among attendees and speakers through brief technical presentations followed by Q&A discussion periods.
