HAZMATCONFERENCE.COM.AU

We are excited to invite your organisation to take the opportunity to exhibit your products and services to industry experts, practitioners and consultants at the HAZMAT Conference 2018.

In recent years HAZMAT has been a component of Fire Australia, the premier event for fire protection in Australia. Requests from key industry stakeholders to create a standalone event has prompted the opportunity to re-establish this event, with AIDGC and FPA Australia partnering to create the HAZMAT Conference 2018.

HAZMAT Conference 2018 will bring together topical speakers covering a broad range of industry segments, enabling and facilitating the growth of knowledge and skills for the industry.

HAZMAT Conference 2018 will also include a limited number of exhibitors, laying the foundations towards delivering an innovative and comprehensive conference and tradeshow, creating a unique opportunity for industry members and non-members to expand and share their knowledge, developing valuable connections with key industry stakeholders, showcasing their products and services, and generating new business opportunities.

The future vision is to establish HAZMAT as a trusted and respected brand for the dangerous goods, hazardous materials and chemical management industries in Australia and the Asia Pacific region.
