Energy Storage for First Responders and Fire Safety Personnel

Wednesday, 29 July | 8.00AM – 5.00PM EST at the Loews Sapphire Resort (Orlando, FL )

Fire safety personnel are on the front lines, dealing with the consequences of the growing popularity of battery energy storage for data centers, utility energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. The skyrocketing use of various forms of energy storage has made it difficult to find a single place to learn about the different types and the safety considerations for battery energy storage in different applications.

Battcon, in collaboration with experts in the battery industry, has organized a special seminar focused on equipping fire personnel and AHJs with energy storage basics, safety considerations, and key info to better equip them for their role in ensuring safe and reliable execution of energy storage resources in the future.

Price: $400 (lunch included).
