The main risk management expo takes place this year on 15-16th March at the EXCel exhibition centre in London. For more information see the Business Continuity Expo website. The importance of this show grows each year as it covers continuity, security and compliance issues.

Some of the key topics this year will include the July bombings in London and what can be learned from them, how to prepare for Avian Influenza, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as well as dare I say it the more mundane issues of resilience in critical inforamtion infrastructures.

Nexus Media Communications are putting together a new Power Supply and Business Continuity Conference with selected partners such as Riello UPS. The event will take place on Thursday 2nd November at The Bayliss Hotel, Slough and is being designed to attract consultants, specifiers and engineers who want to hear from industry leading experts on a wide range of power protection technologies and solutions. Riello UPS will publish more details on its events page when they are known.

I often wondered what the benefits of LPG where and this page at Auto Gas India explains it nicely - more bangs per buck and virtually no emmissions.

LPG technology is also making its way into the world of generators, especially those that can be used with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Many customers still opt for diesel even though LPG is “greener” and more efficient, and makes a significant contribution towards any company running an ISO14001 accredited environmental management system.
