Programme Highlights
The theme of the Symposium this year is “Create (Innovation & Advancement), Change (Industrial Evolution & Transformation), Connect (Environmental, Social & Governance)“. Smart technologies not only enhance the sustainability of urban environment but also create compelling spaces that enrich lives. Moreover, the evolution of technology also enables academia, regulators, industry practitioners and engineers to develop more innovative ideas and strategies in mitigating fire risks. Our speakers from Shenzhen, Macau, Hong Kong and USA will share with audiences their research updates and valuable experience to address various hottest issues and challenges being encountered for fire safety. Mr. LAM Sai Hung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Transport and Logistics, has kindly consented to be the Guest of Honour for the Symposium to deliver an opening speech.
