CFAA OPENS REGISTRATION FOR VANCOUVER’S 2013 TECHNICAL SEMINAR!

Toronto, Ontario - August, 2013 - CFAA opened registration for the Vancouver Technical Seminar scheduled to be held October 9, 2013 at the Justice Institute in New Westminster, British Columbia. No word yet as to the line-up for guest speakers or topics, but I’m looking forward to it. The last technical seminar they held in Vancouver (in 2011) was worth every penny! I would encourage anyone engaged in the service of fire alarm equipment to make plans to attend. This is your chance to discuss the technical advances (and the changes to the Codes & Standards that inevitably follow) with your peers, manufacturer’s reps, AHJ’s, and industry experts. Not to mention, they serve a delicious luncheon too!

CFAA Members receive a discount. Register early! Don’t miss this opportunity to improve your knowledge!
