LEEA launches Sydney Discovery Event to spotlight safety and innovation in lifting
The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is gearing up to provide an essential networking opportunity for industry professionals with its upcoming Discovery Event in Sydney. Scheduled for 20 May at the Novotel Sydney Brighton Beach, the event arrives as a substitute for the postponed LiftCon25. It will commence at 8:30 am and include a morning session followed by a networking lunch, creating a conducive environment for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
This Discovery Event is designed to underscore the value of LEEA membership, offering insights into how the association champions safety, quality, and operational excellence in lifting operations. Participants will gain an exclusive introduction to LEEA’s new Safe User membership initiative, which aims to promote best practices among equipment users, thereby enhancing operational standards across the board.
In a rapidly evolving industry, events such as the Discovery Event cater to the need for professional development and community engagement. Attendees will have the chance to connect with regional peers and gain a deeper understanding of the latest standards and training available. The initiative aligns well with LEEA’s commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the sector.
In recent years, LEEA has expanded its outreach efforts, evident in the success of events like LiftEx Regional, which took place on 24-25 May 2023. This event attracted a broad array of participants and included expert talks addressing significant issues such as staffing, compliance, and business practices in the lifting industry. Notably, Charles Brass, a leading Australian futurist, was a keynote speaker, providing insight into future challenges and opportunities. Such forums not only facilitate networking but also serve as vital platforms for sharing effective practices and innovative solutions.
The enthusiasm for LEEA’s initiatives reflects the community’s aspiration to advance in a complex industry landscape. With the imminent Discovery Event, industry professionals can engage directly with the association and their peers, reinforcing connections that are crucial for navigating the future landscape of lifting operations.
Given the limited spots available for this complimentary event, early registration is encouraged to secure attendance. This opportunity is not just about networking; it is a chance for professionals to gain valuable insights and foster a sense of belonging within a dedicated community committed to improving the standards of lifting equipment usage.
With continued investments in training, standards, and a focus on safety, LEEA remains at the forefront of shaping the lifting sector, ensuring it meets the challenges of modernisation and sustainability. As the industry looks ahead, events like the Discovery Event will be instrumental in galvanising collective efforts towards enhanced practices and innovation.
