Europe’s construction equipment manufacturing association, 3399 CECE, plans to hold its annual congress in Czech capital Prague. CECE is working jointly with SVSS, the Czech construction equipment industry association, to organise the 2016 edition of the CECE Congress.

Called, An Industry in Transformation; Drivers of Success, the congress will be held in Prague from the 5th to 7th October 2016. Key benefits for attendees will be understanding how colliding trends could affect business, preparing for times of change and (digital) transformation and learning from compelling cases of competing OEMs. The event will also allow attendees to hear what key customers expect from industry and develop networks among the leaders in the sector. Two key topics will form the focus of the congress. One will be geographical; uncovering the investment climate in Central and Eastern Europe. The other will investigate whether firms have future-proof business models.

Programme highlights will include high-level speakers, case studies and the latest market intelligence. Highlights will also include an economic forum, a technical forum and a regulatory update. Attendees will also be able to attend a gala dinner and networking breaks, while the event will be held in the Angelo and Andels Hotel.
