Specific roadside assistance regulations, sustainability, the insurance market, claims… will be some of the topics proposed for a forum to be held on the afternoon of the first day of Fireca.
The countdown to Fireca has begun. The big roadside assistance event, held since 2018 at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Sevilla (FIBES), reaches its fifth edition this year. It will take place from 6 to 8 March and will bring together, as at every edition, all the groups of companies involved in roadside rescue and emergencies. The Red de Empresas de Auxilio en Carretera (REAC), with its more than 70 member companies, is a member of the Fireca Organising Committee and has its own stand.
But that is not all. The 5th edition of the International Rescue, Assistance and Emergencies Fair is scheduled to host the 2nd Light and Industrial Vehicles Forum, on 6 and 7 March respectively. Those interested can already register at this link. REAC will be responsible for organising, precisely, the Light Vehicles Forum, scheduled for next Wednesday 6 March at 17:00.
From then until 19:00, in the Sala Europ Assistance (with a maximum capacity of 100 people), various speakers will go through content related to roadside assistance, of interest to member companies and to professionals in the sector in general. The moderator will be Sonia Luque Cruz, from REAC.
