St Thomas Conference 2004
Firestop Industry Conference & 5 Year Anniversary Celebration
November 10 - November 12, 2004
Frenchman's Reef Hotel, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
This year's theme, "International Effective Compartmentation" will feature seminars on how Firestopping fits into the bigger picture of Effective Compartmentation, throughout the globe. Our agenda will look like past programs with seminars, trade show and education programs. Look for a great educational program ... and celebration of FCIA's 5th Anniversary.
Marriott Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Beach Resort
5 Estate Bakkeroe
St. Thomas, 00801, US Virgin Islands
Frenchman's Reef overlooks Charlotte Amalie, the harbor to St. Thomas and is very convenient to the downtown shopping and restaurant district. Since November is a very busy time in St. Thomas, reserve your rooms now.
St. Thomas is a US Territory, so no passports are required for US Citizens and your cell phones will work fine.
