ICCX
Central Europe
12. - 13.02.2025

The ICCX Central Europe will open its doors for the 11th time. The two-day conference with accompanying trade exhibition is considered the leading industry event of the Central European concrete industry and will take place on 12 and 13 February 2025. The venue will once again be the well-established conference hotel Double Tree by Hilton Hotel & Conference in Warsaw, where ICCX Central Europe has been held since 2019.

At the heart of the event is the conference programme, in which international experts from the construction and concrete industry will share their knowledge and expertise in various technical sessions. The conference languages are English and Polish. All lectures will be simultaneously translated and the presentations in English and Polish will be shown synchronously on two large screens.

The 2-day conference program is divided into four sessions. On the first day after the opening session, which deals with the economic and ecological situation of the industry, as well as methods to improve efficiency in everyday work, the second session in the afternoon will focus on modern building materials and innovations in the industry.

In the third conference session on the morning of the second day of the event, experienced experts will then present their knowledge on the subject of precast concrete elements. In addition to modern precast concrete solutions and sophisticated adaptive formwork systems, the presentations will highlight opportunities offered by artificial intelligence in the precast concrete plant.

The final conference session will focus on concrete products. Following presentations on the concrete plant of the future and the recycling of mineral sludge in the core concrete of concrete products, a panel discussion on the current situation and the latest developments in the concrete products industry will conclude the conference program of ICCX Central Europe 2025.

Large trade exhibition

In addition to the conference program, participants can look forward to an international trade exhibition with more than 100 companies from the supplier industry that will present their latest products and solutions. The trade exhibition covers all areas of the concrete industry - from concrete products to prefabricated elements for building construction and civil engineering to ready-mixed concrete.

Evening event

The first day of the congress will conclude with an evening event, the popular and always fully booked ICCX Dinner Party, which will take place in the restaurant of the conference hotel Double Tree by Hilton. Delegates can experience regional culinary delicacies and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere in an informal and yet professional setting. As is tradition, the evening is expected to conclude in the hotel's own club, situated in the basement of the establishment.

Congress rates for overnight stays

For visitors to the ICCX CE, a limited number of rooms with special rates is available at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel & Conference.

Unauthorized Partners of ad-media GmbH / CPI Concrete Plant International / ICCX events
For several years, different companies selling hotel rooms have been actively soliciting companies who participate at ICCX trade shows all over the world. These companies typically make it appear they have received your information from ICCX organizers and that there is a connection between the offer of their hotel rooms and ICCX. In their information, they may imply that companies might be under pressure to either process or reconfirm their existing hotel room booking in the conference hotel. They ask for credit card data
Please note that this is scam!
Sadly, it appeared several times that they confirmed reservations, charged the credit cards and then cancelled the reservations without further notice very shortly before the event. These companies are not affiliated with ad-media/CPI/ICCX and the hotel room reservation they are attempting to sell you is not legitimate. Please refer to the accomodation information that is provided on our website to make a safe and valid hotel room reservation, only.
