Invitation from AAFI 2024 Chair
On behalf of the Organising Committee for the Australasian Association of Fire Investigators (AAFI) we would like to invite you to partner with the 2024 biennial conference being held on 21st- 23rd October 2024 at the Western Sydney Conference Centre in Penrith, New South Wales
The theme of the conference is “Live it, Learn it, Pass it on” and over three days, we are showcasing Australia’s capabilities and the practical benefits of live burns in fire investigation and research. It is a forum that will bring together representatives involved in fire investigation and research from fire services, police services, universities, and private industry.
The conference will focus on two main themes: lithium-ion batteries in fire investigation and wildfire investigation. To achieve this, we have two key speakers, Mr Cameron Novak, and Mr Richard Woods. Mr Novak is an Electrical and Fire Research Engineer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the USA. Mr Wood is an international specialist in Wildfire cause determination and Wildfire prevention.
Details of the program can be found here: https://aafi2024.au/program
In addition to the two-day conference program, AAFI 2024 will offer delegates a unique opportunity of a full-day field trip to the Fire and Rescue NSW Fire Research Testing Facility at Londonderry.
AAFI 2024 aims to attract delegates from Australasia, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom, in particular fire investigators, engineers, police investigators, solicitors, loss adjusters, insurers, regulatory agencies and other government departments. These delegates use fire investigation research and evidence in the prosecutions of criminal activities, civil matters and for improvements in safety requirements.
Sponsoring and exhibiting at AAFI 2024 gives your organisation a unique opportunity to promote your brand and send key messages to delegates. You will have extensive marketing exposure in the lead up to the event as well as during the conference.
As you can imagine, this rare opportunity will generate much interest from peak fire investigation bodies in Australasia.
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we welcome you to Sydney in 2024 and encourage you to explore the benefits of participating as a sponsor and/or exhibitor.
