| The new exhibition, built on foundations of an AFAC event, will be called 'AFAC powered by INTERSCHUTZ' |
On Friday, June 5, Hannover Fairs Australia (an Australian subsidiary of Deutsche Messe AG) and the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) finalised a partnership agreement for a new exhibition in Australia. Now professional associations and solution providers can use this new showcase to pursue their objectives in Down Under, which will cover similar ground as INTERSCHUTZ in Hannover, Germany.
The new exhibition – which is being built on the foundations of an AFAC event that has been successfully staged for over two decades – will be called “AFAC powered by INTERSCHUTZ”. Its premiere in Australia will be in August of 2016, with exhibits by leading manufacturers of equipment for rescue work as well as firefighting media. The event will also feature a seminar program with contributions by international speakers and related associations.
“We are very pleased that a new member is joining the INTERSCHUTZ family. Along with ‘REAS powered by INTERSCHUTZ’ in Italy and ‘EDURA powered by INTERSCHUTZ in Poland’, the new ‘AFAC powered by INTERSCHUTZ’ gives our associations and exhibitors another key opportunity for presenting themselves and engaging in dialogue with an international audience,” commented Martin Folkerts, Director of Global Fairs at Deutsche Messe.
