Shaping the Future of Wildfire Prevention and Suppression

You’re navigating a landscape where wildfires are growing in scale, cost, and complexity. The risk to your operations, infrastructure, and communities is intensifying, and traditional approaches are no longer enough. With that said, the technology to prevent and mitigate wildfires is improving rapidly, making the path to less dangerous wildfires a possibility. Now it is up to the agencies, utility companies, and fire departments to adopt and implement the technology.

The IDGA Wildfire Technology Summit is where your expertise meets collective action. This is your opportunity to exchange ideas, discover cutting-edge technology, and form partnerships that accelerate real-world wildfire mitigation. From advanced detection systems to resilient infrastructure, every conversation and session is designed to help you lead the charge in transforming how we tackle wildfire challenges.

You'll connect with industry leaders, wildfire agencies, academia, and representatives from utilities and power companies to collaboratively address and advance solutions for the prediction, prevention, detection, suppression, and mitigation of destructive wildfires. Together, we’ll shape the future of wildfire management and technology development.
