The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) announced today that the 2021 NFPA Conference and Expo will not happen as scheduled and instead will be replaced with the 125th Anniversary Conference Series, a year-long, targeted, virtual experience.

“C&E is recognized as a world-class experience for all our attendees and we can’t safely hold an in-person event of this size,” said Jim Pauley, NFPA president and CEO. “We needed to switch gears in order to be able to fully devote our efforts to creating a new, different experience that lives up to our high expectations and one where everyone could safely attend and participate.”
