The AFAC25 podcast offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this year’s premier emergency management conference, AFAC25 powered by INTERSCHUTZ, returning to Perth from 26–29 August 2025. Through insightful interviews with Jason Foster, Chair of the AFAC25 Steering Committee, Quinn Cramer, President of Women and Firefighting Australasia, and Rob Keen, Event Director at Hannover Fairs Australia, listeners will get an early look at what to expect across the four-day program and 15,000sqm exhibition.

This year’s theme, From local to global: leveraging systems, capability and connection, sets the stage for a packed agenda that dives into resilience, technology, cultural fire practice, and more. Keynote speakers include Whadjuk Balardong Noongar leader Ingrid Cumming, UN disaster risk expert Mami Mizutori, and journalist Leigh Sales, all exploring different facets of resilience in an evolving world.

Listeners will also hear about the seven newly structured exhibition sectors, designed around real-world roles and functions within emergency management. From fleet and equipment to community risk reduction and response operations, the expo aligns technologies with the operational needs of a broad visitor base, from first responders to policy makers.

The podcast covers the expanded features of the event, including the AIDR Knowledge Centre, Solutions Theatre, and Demo Zone, along with highlights from the Research and Innovation Day and the closing Professional Development Program. Field trips and specialist workshops round out the learning experience, with themes ranging from Indigenous-led fire programs to climate-ready strategies and equitable emergency design.

Whether you’re managing emergencies on the front line or planning safer communities, this podcast gives you a glimpse of what AFAC25 has in store, and why it’s a must-attend. Listen now, explore the full program online, and secure your place at Australia’s leading emergency management event.
