Experience the future of Emergency Services at Europe’s largest annual trade show for blue light innovation.
London, UK — The UK’s multi award-winning trade event dedicated to the UK blue light community – The Emergency Services Show – returns to the NEC Birmingham from 18-19 September 2024, and promises to break new ground as Europe’s largest and most comprehensive event series dedicated to product innovation, exclusive networking opportunities, and vital learnings for the UK and international emergency services sector.
Co-located with The Emergency Tech Show (ETS) – now in its second year following its showstopping launch last September where it quickly established itself as a vital date in the diary for emergency tech professionals – The Emergency Services Show guarantees an impressive lineup of sector-leading exhibitors, an unrivalled content programme, and an essential destination for procurement specialists, decision-makers and frontline operational personnel from police, fire & rescue, ambulance, search & rescue, support and voluntary sectors. Attendees will experience an exclusive first-hand look into the latest products and solutions on offer from over 600 exhibitors and over 1000 brands who, working in partnership with frontline professionals, are dedicated to revolutionising emergency response.
The only event series of its kind for the sector, this exceptional showcase of technology innovation and ground-breaking solution providers covers the entire emergency services landscape, with products ranging from vehicle and fleet management, IT and communications, medical and fire fighting equipment, control room solutions, virtual reality training simulations, AI for predictive emergency response and planning, and so much more!
The Emergency Tech Show will again showcase the most advanced technologies driving the digital transformation of the emergency services sector and provides vital insights into technological developments via the Technology Main Stage and Tech Hub seminar theatres. New for 2024, ETS has proudly partnered with techUK for the exclusive techUK Pavilion, a hub for exploring innovative technology solutions from emerging SMEs and startups. Attendees can explore cutting-edge solutions tailored to the emergency services sector from up-and-coming tech trailblazers.
“Staying ahead of the curve is crucial in ensuring effective emergency response,” says David Brown, Event Director of The Emergency Services Show and The Emergency Tech Show. “And the rate at which technology is transforming the ways our teams respond to and recover from the most serious of situations is truly remarkable. Our events provide a pivotal platform for the entire sector to access cutting-edge solutions and training that enhance multi-agency collaboration and immediate and long-term resilience.”
A host of new features are planned for 2024, including the NFCC Future Firefighter PPE Theatre, sponsored by Enduro Protect, which offers an exclusive opportunity to join the discussion on ensuring future personal protective equipment is fit for purpose for the next generation of firefighters.
In partnership with Coventry University Simulation Centre, the show’s new People & Skills Stage, focuses on the evolving training and development landscape to enhance your lifelong professional skills, ensuring you remain the vital, well-supported asset your community relies on for safety.
In a first for The Emergency Services Show, the new Sustainability Stage is dedicated to decarbonising the blue light sector, exploring innovative solutions for green fleets, emissions reduction, and collaborative approaches to achieving net zero. Supporting this green focus, the Emergency Services Environment and Sustainability Group, part of the National Police Estates Group (NPEG), will be hosting exclusive member meetings on enhancing environmental management practices across the sector, and will offer their expert insights as we plan our environment and sustainability content agenda.
Returning for 2024, the Policing Stage features speakers from frontline policing and research, offering CPD-accredited sessions with valuable case studies and insights to enhance public trust and improve policing practices.
Networking remains a key focus of the ESS experience, with a host of exciting events planned to build upon the fantastic blue light community already established in past editions of The Emergency Services Show. The ever-popular Networking Café returns as a central hub for connecting with colleagues, whilst blue light tech experts and digital transformation leads can head over to the Tech Bar at The Emergency Tech Show to catch up and geek out over the coolest new kit and tech available from leading suppliers of ICT technologies.
