The Italian national workplace safety body and the Ministry of Labour will lead a session on the responsibilities of managing lifting equipment. Vericert will delve into the new EU Machinery Directive and how it interfaces with AI, robotics, and cybersecurity.

Finally, there will be three industry award ceremonies one on Thursday evening for access equipment, and two on Friday evening, one for Logistics and one for Lifting & Transport, Friday is also the night for networking party held across both indoor and outdoor exhibition areas.

Organiser Fabio Potestà said: “The industry has responded with overwhelming confidence, making this 10th edition a true landmark event. With just days to go, it’s clear that GIS is more than an exhibition, it is a complete platform for the industry. We have the technology on the show floor, the critical knowledge in the conferences, and the celebration of excellence with the awards.
Ultimately, it is the place for the industry community to connect, do business, and shape the future. We look forward to welcoming everyone to Piacenza.”
