IPAF confirms Europlatform

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), is to hold a pan-European access conference in association with Access International, called Europlatform on 11 September 2007 in Basel, Switzerland.

The one-day conference will be dedicated to access platform safety and rental management issues, with presentations aimed at executives, senior managers and owners of access rental companies and training providers. Among the confirmed topics are financial models for managing access rental assets, to be presented by a senior manager from the Lavendon Group.

“Europe’s access rental business is in a process of high-speed evolution,” said IPAF managing director Tim Whiteman. “Europlatform is a superb opportunity for senior management to get the latest information on safety and management issues for that vital competitive edge.”

Europlatform will be held at the Ramada Plaza Basel hotel near the city centre and close to the Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg EuroAirport. The event will open with an informal evening reception on 10 September, with sessions running from 9.00am to 4.00pm on 11 September.

Ticket prices are to be confirmed, but will be around €200 for places booked more than two months in advance.
