FeuerTrutz 2022: A successful industry gathering in every way

FeuerTrutz 2022 laid on the best in-person and digital content for designers, certified experts, construction engineers, architects, employees of official agencies and others involved in fire protection from throughout Europe: an extensive market overview covering innovative solutions and products for fire prevention and fire containment; many highlights in the supporting programme and Congress programme; two new, more spacious exhibition halls; and the opportunity to make virtual contact with suitable business partners before, during and after the trade fair. “FeuerTrutz was a genuine highlight once again this year,” observes Stefan Dittrich, Director FeuerTrutz, NürnbergMesse. “Initial feedback from our exhibitors and visitors even while the trade fair was in progress confirms the high value and great importance the event has for the community of European fire protection experts. Personal contacts and the opportunity to experience and test products live are and will always be irreplaceable. No other event reflects preventive fire protection with such an extensive and targeted approach. That means FeuerTrutz is still the no. 1 platform in Europe.”

“Our delegates were particularly enthusiastic about the combination of on-site and live-streamed digital professional development offered at this year’s Fire Protection Congress,” summarizes André Gesellchen, Head of the Fire Protection Programme at FeuerTrutz Network. “That meant that people unable to travel to Nuremberg were still able to participate and bring themselves up to date with all the latest key questions relating to fire protection – success all round!”

Highlights of FeuerTrutz 2022

In addition to the richly varied product show, FeuerTrutz 2022 also offered plenty of variety in its supporting programme. The two Exhibitor Forums provided fascinating practice-based presentations. A series of lectures on the second afternoon of the trade fair was specially dedicated to the subject of BIM in Fire Protection. For junior staff and those with longer experience in the industry on the lookout for new challenges, the Training & Career Meeting Point and the FeuerTrutz Job Board proved a popular destination on the circuit of the exhibition halls.

About FeuerTrutz 

FeuerTrutz in Nuremberg is Europe’s leading trade fair and congress that combines solutions for passive, active and organizational fire protection. It’s where fire protection designers, certified experts, architects and building engineers, staff from official agencies and fire protection departments, and fire safety officers obtain the information they need about innovative solutions and products for fire prevention and containment. Exhibitor Forums, the Fire Protection EXPERIENCE, Training & Career Meeting Point and compact seminars offer additional sources of professional expertise. Two strong partners have joined forces for this event: NürnbergMesse organises the trade fair and FeuerTrutz Network GmbH is responsible for the parallel Fire Protection Congress.

The “Innovation@FeuerTrutz” pavilion provided the opportunity to discover start-ups and new companies offering future-oriented solutions. The annual Fire Protection EXPERIENCE was another highlight not to be missed: Visitors were amazed by spectacular outdoor and indoor demonstrations in realistic deployment scenarios, including fire-proof textiles and passable smoke barriers.

The evening event “FeuerTrutz After Work” was back on the menu again for the first time, and proved highly popular. And at the Max Morlock Stadium next to the exhibition venue, tasty food was on offer at the grill buffet, along with relaxed networking at the FeuerTrutz community.

Fire Protection Congress with emphasis on existing buildings

Germany’s largest Fire Protection Congress, organized by FeuerTrutz Network, was held in parallel to FeuerTrutz as usual – and this year in the NCC Ost Congress Centre at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg for the first time. The total of around 40 product presentations and discussion rounds involving prominent industry experts, divided into three parallel congress streams, were also live-streamed online, making them available to even more participants. The theme for this year’s Congress was “Between standards and individual cases: concepts and evaluation for fire protection in existing buildings”. Other topics included Practical knowledge for strategy development, Fire prevention and wooden structures, Fire prevention for batteries, New guidelines, Fire protection legislation, Operational fire protection and Plant technology. Congress delegates made full use of the opportunity to interact with other professionals and engage in discussion with the speakers.

Save the Date: FeuerTrutz 2023

The next edition of FeuerTrutz and the accompanying Congress will be held in the normal cycle again one year from now: on 21-22 June 2023 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, once again in Exhibition Halls 4 and 4A, and the NCC Ost Congress Centre.
