The Programme contains all the important information you need for the Convention including the agenda of events, useful logistical information, a list of speakers and a catalogue of our sponsors and exhibitors.

 

As in previous years we are offering companies to profile themselves at the Convention by taking part in the table top exhibition just outside the main meeting room.

To ensure the highest level of networking opportunities between participants to the Convention and exhibitors, all coffee breaks, cocktails and the lunch of 16 May will take place in the exhibition area of the Convention.

We also offer sponsorship opportunities for the European Rental Awards Dinner.
