Newsflash: Shane Fitzsimmons AO AFSM to headline the 2024 NIBA Convention.

We are thrilled to announce that Shane Fitzsimmons AO AFSM will be headlining the 2024 NIBA Convention.

In a special keynote address, the 2021 NSW Australian of the Year will share his experience of battling the deadly Black Summer bushfires and lessons in building resilience that he’s acquired, having over three decades of emergency management experience.

Whether it’s bushfires or floods, brokers play an important role in helping communities get back on their feet in the aftermath of natural disasters. Shane’s insights will be invaluable for attendees, shining a spotlight on the importance of risk mitigation in light of increasing natural disasters across Australia.

Shane served as the inaugural Commissioner of Resilience NSW from May 2020 to December 2022, an organisation established as the lead agency for disaster recovery with a focus on social, economic, infrastructure and environmental outcomes. This appointment followed a distinguished career with the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) of over 35 years. The NSW RFS is widely acknowledged as the largest volunteer fire service in the world and is the lead agency for bushfires and bushfire management in NSW.

With 51 speakers, 21 sessions, around 800 delegates, 15 partners and over 65 exhibitors attending, grab this opportunity to learn, share, connect, celebrate, and explore the key future trends shaping our profession.
