The surging growth in Western Australia’s employment will bring a new, large workplace safety trade show and conference to the state. The inaugural WA Safety Show and Conference will be held in Perth from August 12 to 14, 2008 and will then run every two years.
It comes from the same stable as the Melbourne-based Safety In Action trade show and The Safety Show Sydney, which each attract more than 10,000 visitors annually and the two-year-old Queensland Safety Show.
Backing the WA Safety Show and Conference is the Safety Institute of Australia’s Western Australian division and organiser, Australian Exhibitions & Conferences (AEC). The 7000 square metre WA Safety Show’s announcement follows strong demand from exhibitors at other safety shows, says AEC managing director Marie Kinsella.
“Plenty of exhibitors were asking when we’d launch a Perth show,” she said. “Within 24 hours of us announcing the WA Safety Show, more than a dozen had snapped up stands.”
Ms Kinsella anticipates the show will host over 150 exhibitors and 3000 visitors.
