fireAustralia Conference & Exhibition

Fire Australia heads for the sun this year on the world famous Gold Coast. The delegate registration brochure and form is now available and the website has even more information.

What’s New in 2010?

We’ve brought back the three day format and introduced a sit down farewell lunch on the Friday, with beer and wine available to help you unwind. We’ve also restructured the format to include presentations on all three days with exhibitor presentation throughout the program.

The Program

The entire program will include 24 speakers across a variety of topics surrounding, but not limited to, Communities and Infrastructure. Each day of the conference will commence with an international keynote speaker. There will also be presentations by the exhibitors to keep you abreast of the latest the industry has to offer.

The Exhibition

With exhibition booths still selling we can’t say how many companies will be represented, however we have no doubt all 40 booths will be sold. These will be open the entire duration of the conference and free to peruse.

Social Functions

All delegates can enjoy the cocktail reception at the conclusion of day one, held in the exhibition space. The evening of day two will host the conference dinner, a big night of food, drink, fun and entertainment. The last day will have the new addition of a sit down farewell lunch. All offer excellent networking opportunities as well as the chance to relax and enjoy yourself.
