At the RyanFire Products stand, director Paul Ryan said he looks forward to the Conference and Exhibition. “It’s obviously the most specific event to our industry and it’s a great opportunity to network, build brand awareness and of course make sales. People come to our stand to chat. Some say ‘we’ve heard of you and have been meaning to talk’. Because we do so much business online, it’s a great to put faces to names.”

FireNZ 2007 provided us a platform to get updates on all facets of the fire engineering industry. The presentations were informative and inspiring. It was also a fantastic opportunity to network with others in the industry. – Mona Liu, Origin Fire
The highlight of FireNZ 2017 was being able to Immerse myself in the talks and thoughts of experts in fire engineering across the country and from around the world. This platform provides not only the well-prepared presentation, but also face-to-face communication. Presentations initially provide a good chance to learn, face-to-face chats provide in-depth ways to understand the design concept of the high-quality work. – Dr Alex Zhu, Origin Fire
