The free seminar programme runs alongside the exhibition and brings together industry experts to discuss the latest hot topics.
The programme will tackle key industry challenges, including modernisation, evacuation, safety, and the latest updates on standards and regulations. A key focus will be the Building Safety Act, addressing its impact on the industry, including The Golden Thread and its implications for specifiers and building owners.
These are the most significant advancements in building safety in nearly four decades, and LEIA will be sharing expert guidance to help you navigate these changes.
We're continually updating the seminar programme, so stay tuned for more updates!

Revision of BS 5655-11 – Code of practice for the undertaking of modifications to existing lifts
The number of lifts in use in the UK today were installed over 20 years ago and would generally have been installed to the safety level appropriate at time of installation. These lifts, if not improved, would have a lower level of safety than a more recently installed lift, following today’s state-of-the-art for modern technologies. This and the added complications surrounding type examinations and defined parameters means that a full revision of BS 5655 parts 11 and 12 is required for the lift industry.
