The Paducah Fire Prevention Division is hosting the 13th Annual Combined Conference for Fire Service, Electrical, and Building Professionals. The classes and networking opportunities will be Thursday, October 2 through Friday, October 3.
The FREE conference is available to anyone in the electrical, plumbing, building, construction, design, or firefighting professions. The conference will be at the Paducah-McCracken County Convention & Expo Center. Participation in the classes can provide attendees with continuing education credits for the State of Kentucky. Attendees also are invited to attend a hospitality event Thursday evening sponsored by Keuler, Kelly, Hutchins, Blankenship & Sigler, LLP (KKHB).
“This conference is one of the largest educational events organized by the City of Paducah with an average of more than 300 attendees annually,” said Paducah Mayor George Bray. “The Fire Prevention Division works to secure engaging instructors who are experts in their fields, many with experience in writing the codes that govern fire service and construction. I encourage fire and building professionals to attend, and I want to thank the generous sponsors.”
“Sponsors are a vital component of this conference,” said Deputy Chief of Fire Prevention Greg Cherry. “Sponsors allow this educational and networking opportunity to be provided at no charge to participants. Many of our sponsors also are vendors at the conference. In addition to the educational workshops, the attendees have numerous opportunities to connect with vendors and network with other professionals in their fields. This is a conference that is rewarding to participants, vendors, and instructors and to the Fire Prevention Division staff who work hard coordinating it.”
