About the Summit
Building on the success of the first event, the 2022 Wildfire Prevention Summit is expanding and will take place over two days!
Our lineup of fire safety experts will examine the current wildfire situation and share their insight on the critical need to transition from fire suppression to proactive wildfire prevention.
A distinguished group of more than two dozen speakers are scheduled to present at this year’s Summit, representing federal and state government agencies, as well as fire safety experts from the private sector, including representatives from the utility, transportation, and insurance industries.
Fire safety professionals from around the world who are involved in wildfire protection and prevention are encouraged to attend this summit.
Perimeter Solutions is honored to serve as the Platinum Sponsor for the virtual event, which is complimentary to all attendees and will be streamed on this website May 3-4.
