This year's FirePRO conference is nearly here

Main

Hear first-hand accounts of dealing with intense public interest in the devastating Clutha bar crash that saw 10 people, including three police colleagues, killed and the huge communications challenges East Sussex faced when a pier fire destroyed 150 years of history.

These and other inspiring and interesting workshops and presentations to keep fire and rescue communications practitioners at the top of their game are on the agenda for this year’s FirePRO conference.

Other items confirmed include London Fire Brigade sharing valuable insights into one of their successful social media campaigns, award-winning research firm ESRO sharing their expertise on the value of insight and a session on integrating communications to include digital strategies

FirePRO’s committee will also be sharing the outcomes of some of its work from this year, including a workshop on the Death in Service Toolkit that is in development.

The FirePRO conference takes place on Wednesday 26 November and Thursday 27 November 2014 at Eastwood Hall Hotel near Nottingham.

You can find a final agenda on the FirePRO discussion forum here.

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has also just announced that conference delegates can log their attendance at the event on its Continuing Professional Development system, which will aid members' development towards accredited and chartered status. It has also introduced a special offer for FirePRO members wishing to join CIPR. Membership fees (normally £55) will be waived to anyone who joins before 5 December 2014- just use the special offcer code FIRECOM14 when signing up via the CIPR website.

    I hope everyone enjoyed it and I'm really disappointed I couldn't be there. I look forward to hearing lots about it on the forum and in the next newsletter.
