The name of the event is the 2009 NFPA Conference & Expo. This will be NFPA's 113th annual meeting. The trade show started back in the early 70s. It's considered the event of the year for fire and life safety professionals.

4,816 attendees participated in the 2008 Las Vegas conference.

Over 300 companies exhibited last year.

Demographics for the conference can be found in the exhibitor prospectus at: http://www.nfpa.org/assets/files//PDF/2009%20Conference/NFPACE09_prospectus.pdf

The cost for exhibiting is $27 per square foot. A 10' x 10' booth is $2,700.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

OHSAS 18001 standard defines “acceptable risk” as a risk that has been reduced to a level that can be tolerated by the company in regard to the company’s legal obligations and its own occupational health and safety (OH&S) policy.

Hope they come to some good decisions regarding the Fire Hose Standards. It seems that every time I go to the airport to fly to Vegas with LMT I see a firehose leaking. I trust that the coucil will decide well!
