About this event
If you work on safety-critical systems, you already know that a safety goal on paper is not the same as a safety goal that has been convincingly verified. This session focuses on how Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) can be used to test the strength of your safety thinking, expose hidden assumptions, and create a clearer line from high-level intent to technical evidence. Whether you are deep in system safety work or looking to sharpen your understanding of verification methods, this virtual meetup offers a practical space to explore how FTA supports rigorous safety arguments. Expect a focused conversation with room for community exchange, real questions, and useful takeaways you can bring back to your own work.

Who should attend
This is for people who want a clearer, more rigorous understanding of how Fault Tree Analysis supports real safety verification work. - You work in **system safety, functional safety, reliability, or verification** and want to strengthen how you connect safety goals to evidence. - You are a **systems, hardware, or software engineer** contributing to safety-critical products and want a more practical view of how FTA fits into the broader engineering process. - You help write, review, or assess **requirements, hazard analyses, or safety cases** and want sharper tools for testing whether the logic behind a claim really holds up. - You are responsible for **cross-functional communication** between safety, design, and verification teams and need a clearer way to discuss failure logic and assumptions. - You have seen FTA before but want to move beyond a surface-level understanding and think more carefully about **how it is used to verify, not just document**. - You enjoy **technical meetups with a community feel** and value learning through focused discussion with others tackling similar challenges. If you care about making safety arguments more structured, more transparent, and easier to trust, you will likely get a lot from this session.
