It's time for a Recap: Emergency Services Show 2025
This Wednesday and Thursday (Sept 17-18th), we attended the Emergency Services Show 2025 at NEC Birmingham, Europe’s largest event for emergency services professionals.
Key highlights:
Over 16,000 attendees and 500+ exhibitors from across the sector. It was a pleasure to interact with existing and new connections in one of the biggest events in our calendar!
Showcases of new technology and state-of-the-art equipment. We are really looking forward to seeing how these enter into the industry, and how future innovations will build on these.
Live demonstrations of specialist vehicles and emergency response scenarios.
Live seminars covering the go-to topics in the industry, namely digital transformation, resilience, and the latest innovations for Fire, Ambulance, and Police services.
The event provided valuable insights into current challenges and proposals for solving them across the emergency services space. We’re looking forward to seeing them put into practice and continuing the conversations we have started from this incredible event.
