Special Sponsors Gold Sponsors Exhibitors
I N V I TAT I O N Dear colleages and friends, The key topic for the EDA 2013 Annual Convention will be Our future. With this topic we want to close a trend started back in 2011, when we had our conference in London thinking about Our industry and followed also during 2012, unfolding Our market on the convention held in Berlin. On these years we tried to rethink and rediscover our activity as demolition specialists, and now is time to look for the future. Nobody can say exactly what the future will be like on the demolition activity, but we will try to outline the most important opportunities that we, as industry, are seeing on the horizon. These opportunities will include giving voice to new countries rising up on the European demolition market, such as Turkey, and seeking for a clear position of our industry regarding key topics like accreditation of demolition companies and the hazardous waste removal or decontamination of sites. The 2013 EDA convention is also an opportunity to discover the city of Milan at the very beginning of the summer, June 20th to 22nd. Giuseppe Panseri EDA President
The EDA Annual Convention The European Demolition Association, EDA, aims to provide opportunities for networking and to share knowledge of the industry. For this reason, EDA organizes every year a few activities to get together the demolition industry from all over Europe. These meetings have an important technical part, with presentations about new developments, case stories and round table discussions. At the same time, the EDA activities (conferences, meetings, conventions, ) provide an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues, contractors, manufacturers, associations and other agents related with the demolition industry. For almost 30 years, EDA had two annual conferences (Spring and Fall) mostly every year. Now the annual meeting has changed and it is called Annual Convention. It includes similar contents (technical part and optional leisure activities), with more workshops and a closer cooperation with the National Demolition Associations.
