Critical facilities event announced for Australia

National Media, organisers of the Southern Hemisphere's largest facilities event, Total Facilities Expo, have announced the launch of the Critical Facilities Conference and Expo to run on 4th and 5th March 2014 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Mission critical and essential facilities operate in complex environments and if damaged or unable to function can cause immediate threat to business revenues, corporate image, life, public health, safety and the nation's security. Leaders and operators in this space are faced with a completely different set of challenges and scenarios to managers of traditional facilities.

The Critical Facilities Conference and Expo is all about the key strategies, innovative ideas and technologies that prepare and protect these imperative assets. The event will bring together senior decision makers and specifiers from defence and critical government infrastructure, hospitals, medical and research laboratories, financial institutions, co-location data centres, educational institutions, telecommunications providers and industrial manufacturing.

Introducing the Conference and Expo, Critical Facilities Event Director Matthew Shelton explains "this event is a first for the Australian market, certainly of this magnitude. The conference will bring together a stellar cast of international and local speakers sharing industry best-practices, leading case studies and critical strategies. This will be supported by a dedicated Solutions Showcase featuring the latest technology, consulting and service providers to this market."

The two-day conference will run alongside the Total Facilities Expo which draws thousands of senior facilities professionals responsible for the operation of the nation's buildings, facilities and infrastructure.
