THE ExHIbITIoN

THE JoURNEY ToPRoFESSIoNALISMThe fire protection industry is evolving. Not only in the development of new technology and practices, but in the level of professionalism of those employed to design, approve, certify, install, maintain and update systems and equipment.

In an age of risk and accountability it is imperative that standards are met by the equipment being installed, but equally, by those conducting the work. The Journey to Professionalism addresses the growing need for industry personnel to gain recognition of their abilities and explores the various means for achieving competence as a basis for career development.

Examples of the theme included in the conference program are the introduction of the FPA Australia Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS) and the systematic implementation of the new AS 1851-2012 (Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment).

Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre DATE Wednesday 20 November 2013 TIME 6:30pm for 7:00pm - 11:00pm CoST $150 per person – included with full conference registration

This night of networking and fun is an opportunity to relax and enjoy time with your industry colleagues and friends with some entertainment thrown in. The night will include a sumptuous three course meal, accompanied by a selection of wines, beers and soft drink.

Entertainment for the night is still being established with the goal of permitting you to relax and network. Rest assured we won’t schedule anything too loud that may otherwise end the evening early.

As always we’ll use this night to raise funds for a worthy industry related organisation (still to be established). However, in order to provide you more time to relax and network we’re removing the silent and live auction aspects of the fundraising activities. Instead we will have envelopes on each table for direct donations and we’ll keep the raffle so you still have a chance to walk away with a prize.

PLEASE NoTE: Tables of 10 can be reserved and will receive preferred positioning within the ball room. Contact the FPA Australia events team for more information.
