History of the annual conference
The word tradition is often used lightly. However, when an annual conference was held for the 68th time in 2022, the word can be used deliberately.
The first conference was held in Cologne back in 1950. Since then, 47 venues and fire departments have hosted the meeting. Here, the word venue is chosen because the 2021 meeting was held online for the first time.
Among the host cities, of course, there are "repeat offenders." The list is headed by Berlin and Hanover with four events each, followed by Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart with three events each.
The past annual conferences are listed here.
