LGA Fire Conference and Exhibition 2020 and venue options for Fire Conference 2021

Minutes:

The Chair asked Jess Norman to introduce the report.

 

Jess said that the report set out the proposed programme for the 2020 Fire Conference, including proposed speakers and session chairs and asked whether members had any comments.

 

She also set out the 3 options for the location of the 2021 conference highlighting the pros and cons of each.

 

Members agreed that in the light of the importance of the recommendations from the HMICFRS State of Fire & Rescue report, it would be beneficial to have 2 sessions at the conference devoted to discussing these. It was agreed that these should take the place of the proposed “future of on-call” and “shadow ministers” sessions.

 

Members further agreed that the venue for the 2021 Fire Conference should be the Hilton in Gateshead.
