NFPA Americas’ Fire and Security Expo will join with the 2010 NFPA Conference & Expo, the largest fire and life safety industry event in U.S.
February 1st, 2010Lisle, Ill. — The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and ROC Exhibitions, Inc. announced that Americas’ Fire and Security Expo (AFSE), previously held in Miami, will join together with the 2010 NFPA Conference &Expo, the largest and most prestigious fire and life safety industry event in the United States which will be held in Las Vegas June 7-10.
“AFSE has been a successful event for 15 years, serving primarily the Latin American distributors and integrators of fire and security products. Joining with NFPA’s premier Conference & Expo, which alternates between Chicago, Boston and Las Vegas, will better serve distribution channels and end users from Latin America by providing a larger audience and additional opportunities,” said Marc Rosenstock, President of ROC Exhibitions, Inc. “We are also exploring options for a possible return to Miami in 2011 with a new regional show that would meet the needs of that market,” Rosenstock added.
Sessions of special interest to the Latin American audience will be offered in Spanish or simultaneously translated, a Latin American networking function will be introduced, and an International Business Center will be established for the convenience of end-users and channel partners visiting from Latin America and other countries.
