For 2026, The Emergency Services Show will be built around four core themes that shape the content, conversations and experiences across the event. The themes support our vision for ESS 2026 and reflect the operational challenges, priorities and opportunities facing emergency services today.
They underpin the entire content programme and help define the visitors, suppliers and partners we work with, ensuring a strong focus on practical learning, collaboration and innovation. All four themes will be launched in early 2026.
Keep an eye out as each theme is revealed!
