Keynote: National Fire Protection Association, Las Vegas, NV : Managing Accelerating Risk

The organization, representing the part of the fire industry most involved with safety and other standards, needed a fast 20 minute TED style opening keynote that would focus on the new and fast emerging types of fire risk occurring. They found me, and were particularly intrigued by the keynote I had previously done for the National Fire Apparatus Manufacturing Association – essentially, the companies that build firetrucks and other firefighting equipment. I put together a keynote that looked at the scientific, technological, construction and architectural design and other trends that will challenge the industry with new fire risk issues in the future. I filmed a few pre-event promotional video for them as well.
