2012 RFANS Provincial Symposium And Trade Show:Are You Prepared?
This year's Conference is being held May 16 - 18, 2012 at the Holiday Inn located in Truro, otherwise known as the "Hub" of Nova Scotia. Our focus this year is helping facility Managers, Operators and Municipal officials determine if they are truly "Prepared" to maintain their facilities in times of Disaster, or deal with Human Resources/Financial, or Government change whether that be regulatory or socially driven.
New to our line up is a pre-conference session kicking off the event the morning of May 15th followed by our annual networking golf tournament at the Truro Golf Course in the afternoon. We are planning for 60 exhibitors this year, bringing you the newest equipment, fads and industry improvements. Make sure you take in the indoor/outdoor Trade Show on May 17th, as EMO Nova Scotia, the Canadian Red Cross and other Emergency response agencies showcase their Disaster Response Equipment. It's going to have something for everyone.
Keep an eye out for the full conference brochure and registration form in the next two weeks. This is one of the best deals in town, as one price takes in all events for a full conference package. Register early, as this year you can qualify to win an early bird registration prize.
Help us make this the best one yet and join us for what is sure to be educationally stimulating and personally gratifying.
