October 9-12, 2013<br />
Hyatt Regency Phoenix<br />
Phoenix, AZ<br />
Thanks to our Platinum Sponsor
Letter from <strong>the</strong> Conference Committee Chair<br />
Dear Fellow Members,<br />
The agenda for our Fall Technical Seminar is filled with sessions which should prove both interesting and<br />
valuable for your business! The Conference Committee has worked diligently to put toge<strong>the</strong>r a meeting<br />
based on <strong>the</strong> feedback that we received from surveys, calls to headquarters, as well as conversations<br />
we have had at previous meetings. To that end, we have restructured <strong>the</strong> way we build our content,<br />
aligning sessions to a central <strong>the</strong>me which will provide you and your Techs with information that can be<br />
implemented immediately upon return to <strong>the</strong> office.<br />
The <strong>the</strong>me for <strong>the</strong> 2013 Fall Technical Seminar is “Safety and Compliance”. Each session will address<br />
topics within this <strong>the</strong>me and will provide specific and measurable solutions to <strong>the</strong> everyday issues of <strong>the</strong><br />
KEC business. Our speakers are all experts in <strong>the</strong>ir field and are prepared to help us find solutions to <strong>the</strong><br />
hazards we are faced with day in and day out.<br />
Our sponsorship is growing and we have a terrific group of suppliers who will be in attendance to provide<br />
you with <strong>the</strong> tricks and tools of <strong>the</strong> trade. The Product Training and Education portion of our meeting is<br />
designed to not only enlighten our members as to <strong>the</strong> products currently offered by <strong>the</strong> vendors, but as a<br />
way for <strong>the</strong>m to get feedback on <strong>the</strong>ir products to better support our work in <strong>the</strong> field. This is an excellent<br />
opportunity to learn and to show your appreciation of <strong>the</strong>ir continued support! Remember, our sponsors<br />
help <strong>IKECA</strong> keep costs down for <strong>the</strong>se shows; please be sure to visit each of <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Finally, we are excited to host <strong>the</strong> Utah Deputy State Fire Marshal, Oliver Moore, as <strong>the</strong> first AHJ<br />
Scholarship Recipient in <strong>IKECA</strong>! We are also excited that we already have over 20 Phoenix-area AHJs<br />
registered to attend <strong>the</strong> Fire Authority Training and AHJ Presentation on Thursday. These sessions will be<br />
quite engaging!<br />
I look forward to seeing you all in Phoenix!<br />

CONFERENCE SITE & HOTEL INFORMATION<br />
<strong>IKECA</strong> Heads to Phoenix!<br />
Things are different in <strong>the</strong> desert. The sky is bigger. The stars are<br />
brighter. The sunsets stop you in your tracks. It’s a feeling that can’t be<br />
conjured, landscaped or kindled with twinkling bulbs. John Ford knew<br />
that. So did Frank Lloyd Wright. Come to Greater Phoenix and you’ll<br />
understand, too. America’s sixth-largest city still has real cowboys and<br />
rugged mountains and <strong>the</strong> kind of cactus most people see only in cartoons.<br />
Phoenix is <strong>the</strong> gateway to <strong>the</strong> Grand Canyon, and its history is a<br />
testament to <strong>the</strong> spirit of puebloans, ranchers, miners and visionaries.<br />
