BERLIN INTERNATIONAL FIRE SPRINKLER CONFERENCE "HUGE SUCCESS"
The 5th International Fire Sprinkler Conference in Berlin, held on July 8th - 9th in Berlin, was the most successful yet, attracting more than 200 delegates and 18 exhibitors from over 20 European countries. This year's theme was the "Emerging Recognition of Fire Sprinklers" - especially in the European arena.
Papers were presented by some 30 speakers from across Europe and North America. The conference was especially successful in bringing together sprinkler interests within Europe.
The event was organised by the International Fire Sprinkler Association's Managing Director John Viniello and his team. Alan Brinson of the European Fire Sprinkler Network chaired the first day of the conference, whilst the Fire Sprinkler Association's Chief Executive Sir George Pigot chaired the second.
The first conference in this series was held in Edinburgh in 1990 and was intended to be repeated every 4 years. However interest in sprinklers has escalated to such an extent that delegates at the Prague conference in 2002 demanded that the frequency be increased to every 2 years. more pictures
