The FCIA Firestop Industry Conference & Trade Show has a new look! It's our 15th Anniversary, so we figured what better time to step into the next phase of leadership. The conference will still take place Tuesday thru Friday, but we've changed things up a bit, and you're sure to love what you see.
The program will begin on Tuesday with FM & UL/ULC Firestop Exams and Prep Class - Seminars on Firestopping, assembling your Management System Manual document from FCIA's template, and of course, the exams for those seeking FM 4991 Approval and our Welcome Reception.
Wednesday we open the Conference with the President's welcome comments, followed by a session with Larry O'Connor from IAS on Special Inspections and Firestopping. After that, you can either take part in the 2014 Ray Usher Memorial Golf Outing - benefiting the Bob LeClair Scholarship Fund.
Join us Thursday for our Awards Luncheon!
This year, we have revised the Awards portion of the program to be our Thursday FCIA Awards Luncheon. Invite your spouse to this event where we will salute your peers on their accomplishments of the past year.
Round out the day with more presentations from ASHE on what building owners expect from contractors, The Joint Commission speaking on Barrier Management and Andy Streifel from the University of Minnesota on Infection Control.
