Cranes Today and Hoist magazines have joined together with the organiser of a leading North American industry conference to bring industry managers together for three days in Amsterdam next May.
The event is the European debut of the World Class Crane Management Seminar, which has already been held six times in the USA, where it is organised by Crane Partner International.
From 20 to 22 May 2002 managers from across the crane industry will gather together by the waterways of the beautiful Dutch city of Amsterdam.
Netherlands is home to some of the world’s major players in the industry: to the massive Europort Container Terminal, to the innovative Ceres Paragon Terminal, to Mammoet, a world leader in heavy lifting, and to some of the biggest players in crane trading such as van Adrighem, Hovago, Sindorf and Verschoor. Whether it is dockside, construction or industrial cranes, the Dutch can often be found at the leading edge.
The aim of the conference is to help create world class competitiveness across the crane industry. Improving productivity and performance in people and equipment is the target. The call for papers has gone out to more than 20,000 crane industry professionals worldwide.
Subjects covered will include crane technology, management, materials, finance and procurement, as well as case studies of innovative projects.
Further programme details will be published in next month’s issue.
In the meantime, if you are interested in attending the World Class Crane Management Seminar – Amsterdam 2002, or in presenting a paper, or in taking advantage of commercial opportunities, please register your interest with Phil Bishop via pbishop@wilmington.co.uk
