"He has been directly involved with running the BC forest industry's SAFE certification system for most of the past decade," said Mr Stulen.
"The loggers and their safety teams in BC have learned a lot from experience in 10 years and Rob will bring their story to share with our industry safety leaders - which really is everyone on the forest floor."
FIEA has also been lucky to gain the services of Steve Carden, chief executive of Landcorp.
Mr Carden is leading the large farming company to a new phase in safety and is keen to compare notes with people in forestry.
So, it should be the basis for some great conversations and information sharing, said Mr Stulen.
Looking to the event itself, the conference room is going to be a busy place.
"All of our exhibitor stand spaces are sold out, even though we extended the capacity with a marquee in the hotel courtyard," said FIEA event manager Gordon Thomson.
"There are only small number of conference seats available. Now is the time to register to make sure you don't miss out."
Special offers are now being made available to members of other industry associations across the forest industries.

The summit runs from March 1-2 at the Distinction Hotel. The following week it moves to the Bayview Eden Hotel in Melbourne.
