The cream of Australia’s plumbing industry descended upon the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia for the 2009 Plumbing Supply Forum.

Attendees from all over the country and from all sectors of the industry listened and participated in discussions at the Plumbing Supply Forum (PSF) about Standards, WELS, building and construction, the economy, consumer perspectives, codes and sustainability.

Many issues were cleared up and many gained even more traction as the speakers gave insight into matters that greatly affect the industry as a whole.

The day ran smoothly and the speakers gave the 90+ attendees something to think about in a diverse range of areas. Connection Magazines would like to thank all who attended, and in particular our presenters, who did such a fantastic job.

The day was sponsored by IAPMO R&T Oceana & Reliance Worldwide and supported by Designbuild Expo, World Plumbing Info and Plumbing Connection magazine.
