After all the presentations and discussions held in the past three days, the #IWRMC Conference Participants had a chance to slow down, socialize and talk about the future plans of the utilities. 👥 We could not miss the opportunity to create meaningful conversations during the downtime we are afforded. #2024IWRMCAnnualConference #wildfireresilience  

How peaceful it is to be in Adelaide Hills. Did you know that being surrounded by nature can have positive effects on mental health? 🍂   The participants took the scenic route on the second day of the 2024 International Wildfire Risk Mitigation Consortium (#IWRMC) Annual Conference! Some of South Australia’s best food, spirits, and scenery are in Adelaide Hills. The site visit was made even more eventful with the vegetation management technology shown by SA Power Networks. Breaks and pauses are important to reenergize the IWRMC Participants, especially since the second day of the Conference was information-heavy. On to the third and last day! #2024IWRMCAnnualConference #wildfireresilience 

We made sure to add more site visits in the agenda of the 2024 International Wildfire Risk Mitigation Consortium (#IWRMC) Annual Conference to balance out the theoretical discussions with the actual applications. 📍 For Day 1, the participants visited the SAPN Network Innovation Centre to see the technologies the utility is currently exploring, and the South Australia Country Fire Service to know the wildfire risk mitigation efforts that the region is doing We greatly appreciate SAPN and the SA CFS for accommodating our visit and touring us around! What an interesting day, indeed. #2024IWRMCAnnualConference #wildfireresilience
