Cranes Today announces Cranes Asia programme

Cranes Today has recently published the programme for our next conference, Cranes Asia 2011, taking place in Singapore on September 7–8.

Cranes Asia 2011 is the second Singapore-based conference from Cranes Today, the oldest and most-respected magazine covering the international crane and lifting industry. Since its successful launch in 2009, the programme and focus of Cranes Asia has been heavily revised. Building on feedback from industry leaders, Cranes Today has developed a programme focusing heavily on expert advice and guidance, not product promotion.

This year’s event is split into four main sessions, covering Safety, Training, Regional demand, and Technology. Key speakers in each session will be as follows:
