CJK goes international!

Christina was proud to be chosen to speak at the Fire NZ 2023 Conference & Expo held in Auckland, New Zealand, which was held from the 3rd-5th October 2023. This annual conference is the leading fire-related industry conference in New Zealand. There are speakers from Australia, New Zealand and all over the world.

Christina presented the topic “Does compliance always mean safety?” In this presentation she talks about compliance versus safety within the Australian context, and the need to keep fire engineers involved in building projects from design, to construction, and beyond.

She was also interviewed for their magazine and you can read it here: https://defsec.net.nz/2023/09/06/fire-nz-magazine-september-2023/
