LiftEx, the UK's only exhibition and industry conference dedicated to overhead lifting and safe work at height, has announced a record number of visitors have registered to attend the show, as well as exhibitors confirmed for its 2016 edition.
For a full list please visit www.liftex.org/floorplan
Organised by Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) and now in its twelfth year, LiftEx 2016 will take place on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th November in Aberdeen (UK). Admission to the two-day exhibition is free-of-charge for visitors. On day one entry to the Conference costs £99 + vat for LEEA members and £125 + vat for non LEEA members.
Over 1500 visitors and 100 trade exhibitors are expected to take part, and the LiftEx Industry Conference will once again bring together an impressive line-up of respected speakers on topics related to safe, legal and efficient overhead lifting. The popular Innovation Fast Pitch event also returns, giving visitors a quick-fire introduction to the latest technologies and applications in this vital industry sector. In addition to end users and suppliers of lifting equipment, LiftEx will therefore prove invaluable to professionals working in fields such as health and safety, training, plant engineering and maintenance.
"I'm delighted that we are taking LiftEx to Europe's 'Energy Capital' for the first time in its history," said Geoff Holden, chief executive of LEEA. "The energy, offshore and maritime sectors are all heavily reliant on overhead lifting, and LiftEx 2016 offers the local business community an outstanding opportunity to catch up with recent developments in training, accreditation, legislation, products and services."
Visitors and delegates can register online at www.liftex.org. A limited number of sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities are currently available. For more details, contact Leah Phelps on +44 (0)7795 110646 or email Leah@liftex.org
