About Us
Halldale Group is a market leader in the B2B events and media space and considers itself a training and simulation partner to global safety training industries. Its focus is on providing information on best practices in training and simulation technologies and methodology to all safety critical enterprises, globally. It does so via live, and virtual events, print, digital and electronic media and a world-wide editorial team and thought leadership community.
Established nearly 40 years ago, Halldale founder and publisher Andy Smith continues to evolve the Halldale business to stay ahead of the latest topics and technologies which underpin safety training. The events, in the Americas, Europe and Asia act as the primary setting for industry communities to come together to drive best practice, learn, share ideas and do business, while the news and media act as a constant foundation of knowledge and support on associated topics.
Halldale has a worldwide network of content providers and subject matter experts with decades of S&T experience as operators of high value equipment or builders of devices and training systems.
Our team of experienced event co-ordinators, program chairs, editors and content providers have been hands-on operators, users, designers, builders and sellers of simulation equipment before joining our industry-leading events and media.
Together our team has hundreds of years of experience and background in the field of simulation and training, events and publishing.

Sustainability
Halldale Group is committed to minimising our impact on the environment and ensuring a sustainable policy and approach for our publications and events. As part of our long-term plan, we are working towards ISO14001 certification reflecting our commitment to controlling the impact of our activities on the environment.
As a group, we commit to:
- Minimizing environmental impacts in the areas of waste, water, energy and air quality at our offices and events;
- Promoting shared and essential travel;
- Giving back to communities by volunteering and donating resources;
- Ensuring our supply chain has responsible social and environmental practices;
- Creating innovative approaches to minimize negative environmental impacts when delivering meetings and events;
- Using recycled and repurposed materials whenever possible.
This policy applies to all events hosted by Halldale Group including events we host and pay for, in addition to aligning sponsors and exhibitors. Staff and contractors are fully expected to uphold these objectives under this policy within prevailing budgets. We acknowledge we have limited influence over third parties whose events we may attend but do not organize, such as trade shows where we exhibit. While we cannot control the decisions of these parties, we commit to educate them about our policy and encourage them to align operating practices with policy objectives. Our attention to environmental, social and economic responsibility includes working within the law and voluntarily exceeding legal requirements in order to be innovative and demonstrate leadership on the issues that are important to us and our stakeholders. As a result, Halldale Group will review and report on our progress against these goals once per year, whilst conducting management reviews quarterly.
