After 2022’s event in Melbourne, Fire Australia — the Southern Hemisphere’s largest fire protection conference and tradeshow — is coming back to the International Convention and Exhibition Centre (ICC Sydney) in Darling Harbour. From 3rd to 5yh May 2023, ICC Sydney will be the centre for ideas, innovation, and inspiration in fire protection.
Over 2,000 participants and more than 80 exhibitors will be returning to Sydney this May for Fire Australia 2023. There’s a huge amount of interest already, and it’s looking like it will be the biggest yet! This year’s event will build on the success of 2022, drawing leading presenters from Australia and overseas, exploring issues and ideas in fire protection over three days of industry-leading professional development.
See the latest in the industry
Our ever-growing Tradeshow Hall will showcase some of the leading solutions for fire protection and bring suppliers and service providers together under one roof.
At this free expo, exhibitors from across the sector will be on hand to demonstrate their services and products, reveal new ways to protect the community, and show how they can help you and your business.
Free sessions on a dedicated exhibition stage, including product demonstrations, industry updates, and a soon-to-be-announced technician competition, will be a focus for visitors to the Trade Show Hall.
Celebrating excellence
FPA Australia’s Fire Protection Industry Awards acknowledge the best in the industry and celebrate those working to improve fire protection.
The contributions of these businesses and individuals, who have demonstrated their commitment to excellence, innovation, and leadership in fire protection, are recognised at Fire Australia 2023’s Conference and Awards Gala Dinner.
After the awards, attendees can network and relax with their peers, and enjoy live entertainment.
Of course, we’ll also be collecting money on the night to support the Fiona Wood Foundation and its amazing work helping to rebuild the lives of burns victims.
Listen and learn
The team has been working hard to pull together an informative and inspiring program for this year’s event.
Ranging from the ‘perceptive’ to the ‘political’ to the ‘practical’, the conference will give delegates insights into the future of fire protection and let them contribute to the discussion, gaining continuing professional development hours in the process.
Some of the topics from the Conference will include:
- Where do we go now? Fire protection after Grenfell
- In pursuit of national consistency: where next for the reforms?
- Fire on the fringe: when bushfire comes to urban areas
- Assault and battery: adapting firefighting to renewable risks
- How do you assess the performance of a performance solution?
- Fire protection: an international perspective
- What are the consequences of poor fire protection?
But the opportunities to learn don’t end when the microphones are turned off! Join one of our off-site tours to get a look at how complex fire protection systems are designed and operate.
Trips have been organised to the new Allianz Stadium (the Sydney Football Stadium), Crown Barangaroo, the WestConnex control room, and the Rural Fire Service incident control room.
Details of the program and the site tours can be found on our website – www.fireaustralia.com.au/program.
