| The FIA's annual conference will bring together both members and non-members from the fire industry |
As we enter a new decade, the 2010 conference offers all delegates the opportunity to hear about the FIA's plans for the coming year as well as gain a valuable insight from our guest speaker Les Byrom, Chairman for the Business & Community Safety Forum. The format of the day then moves into a series of half hour presentations across two rooms, allowing delegates to choose which seminar sessions are most relevant to them, before finishing up with an open networking session.

The venue for this year's conference is the base for The Blades aerobatic team at Sywell Aerodrome near Northampton. The Blades is the world's only globally-accredited aerobatic airline and its pilots are all either ex-RAF or Red Arrows. Not only are the Blades hosting the day, they will also be wowing delegates with a 15 minute display during lunch!
The combination of technical content, unique venue and lunchtime entertainment makes this the not-to-be-missed event of the year!
