"Make no little plans, they have no magic in them to stir men's blood."

Is a quote from Daniel Burnham, the city planner for Chicago in the early 1900's. It is a call to think strategically, boldly and long term. The mission of this year's international tall building fire safety conference is to identify those tall building fire safety issues that will set the agenda for the next decade.

It's great to see so many colleagues from around the World, including architects, building managers, engineers, equipment manufacturers, insurers and firefighters. It is especially pleasing to see many leading women from the international fire safety community contributing and attending.

We have a common purpose to make tall buildings as safe from fire as they can be. So, please enjoy the next three days and I hope that together we can listen, discuss and learn. Welcome to the 7th international tall building fire safety conference. Go High, Go Well
