Diary Dates

Being the catalyst for all professional and business development issues in the industry, the FIA runs a wide range of activities ranging from seminars on knowledge and management issues to the FIA Flame Conference – a 24 hour ‘hothouse’ of new ideas delivered by internationally renowned experts, which combines ‘lessons from the masters’ with an opportunity for peer-learning, all of which is underpinned by an unparalleled chance to network.

The events we organise are designed to achieve three simple objectives:

• Provide professional development programmes which will help operators to upskill their employees (and therefore help improve productivity, member acquisition and retention)
• Create networking opportunities designed to underpin suppliers’ acquisition and retention strategies.
• Act as a catalyst to bring the industry together to share news, celebrate achievements and promote industry initiatives.

In addition, events such as the Flame Conference provide FIA members with unique insights into Government objectives and initiatives which are directly relevant to the industry. It also helps them understand more profoundly their role in helping members engage with their local communities.

The FIA calendar of events highlights our commitment to continually helping our industry build (and defend) their businesses.
