Darwin 2010: Annual Conference
With more than 900 people at the Darwin Convention Centre in September, the Bushfire CRC/AFAC Annual Conference again lived up to its reputation as the biggest fire, emergency services and land management event of the year.
The week began with Professional Development sessions across a range of topics, including one specifically aimed to introduce new researchers, students and others to the workings of the Bushfire CRC.
Over the three days of the main conference there were three separate streams of presentations from researchers, management and operational personnel, both from Australia and international.
The broader fire industry was also well represented with around 120 booths on the Trade Expo floor.
Much of the conference is now on the Knowledge Web. This includes powerpoint presentations of most speakers and video highlights.
