The 3591 Builders' Association of India (BAI), the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers' Association (iCEMA) and the ASAPP Media Information Group will be organising supporting events at the upcoming show.

The technical program will commence on Wednesday, February 6th, with iCEMA’s Conference on Infrastructure Development – Deliverables and Imperatives. The first session of the conference will focus on infrastructure development and examine its growth drivers. The conference will also see presentations on ECE Industry – Now & Beyond, the Dedicated Freight Corridor Project, Road & Highways, Urban Infrastructure and Port Development. The second half of the session will focus on infrastructure financing vis-à-vis the Indian and international perspectives. The last session of the day will be on construction technology and skill development. The conference is being held at the Hotel Trident which is within walking distance of the bC India’s exhibition grounds. On the following day, February 7th, the ASAPP Media Information Group will hold its 5th Annual Equipment India Conference at the Golconda Ballroom at the Hotel Trident. This will focus on meeting the ever increasing demand for construction equipment in India. It will also provide an opportunity for equipment manufacturing companies, component manufacturing companies, users and service providers to share information and review the current market.

Also a part of the supporting programme on the same day, the BAI is again organising its Top Buyers Conference. With strong representation from the association’s 500 members from 150 centres spread across the country, the conference will definitely provide an interesting insight into issues confronting the Indian construction industry vis-à-vis government regulations. The participants will also be briefed on the latest trends in doing business by experts and discuss organisational matters. The meeting is by invitation only.
