2012 ACE&FA Conference Update

Hello All.


Here's the new logo for the 2012 Australian Community Engagement & Fire Awareness Conference to be held from 1-2 June 2012 at the Novotel, Wollongong.  The theme is 'Fire Up Engagement!'

Conference planning is well and truly underway.  The submission form calling for abstracts and posters will be circulated shortly.

This year we are opening a new category for submissions - a video category.  This is an opportunity to submit a video that demonstrates how you are firing up engagement in your area. Maybe you'd like to celebrate your successes, pose some questions, show us a community engagement event, share the props and aids you use to engage, interview some members of your community or brigade or set a challenge for others.  Get creative!  Submissions will undergo the usual review process by our Conference Working Party (still being assembled).  Finalists will be screened in a designated screening room with videos on a loop and we'll also post to our social media.  Submissions will be required on CD or DVD rather than sending us weblinks to YouTube.


Conference Working Party expressions of interest have been extended for Region West and Region North only.  The extended deadline is Fri 9 Dec.  We'll confirm the final Working Party shortly.




Kind regards,


Nicole
