ICCX
North Africa
23. - 24.10.2024

If you want to know which trends and developments to watch in the concrete industry in Morocco and neighbouring countries, you should mark ICCX North Africa in Casablanca in your diary. The specialist trade fair and conference is your unique opportunity to meet the entire regional concrete industry and to network with concrete manufacturers, machine and plant manufactures and industry associations. With a well-founded lecture programme and an exhibition with more than 40 international mechanical engineering and supplier industry companies, ICCX North Africa offers in-depth specialist information and an intensive dialogue, exclusively among concrete experts.

Be there when ICCX North Africa opens its doors for the third time on 23 and 24 October in the heart of Casablanca.

The event is backed by many local stakeholders, above all the Moroccan concrete associations AMIB - L'Association Marocaine de l'Industrie du Béton and this year also the Moroccan ready-mixed concrete association A.M.B.P.E. - Association Marocaine des Producteurs de Béton Prêt à l'Emploi, who are sponsoring the event. The AHK Morocco is also an important partner for the organisers and a door opener to the local industry.

The Moroccan Association of the Precast Concrete Industry, AMIB, unites the local members of the precast concrete and concrete products industry and was founded in 2002 under the leadership of a group of industry members. The members of the association share a common vision of promoting the concrete producing industry across a broad spectrum.

The Moroccan Ready-Mixed Concrete Association is a professional association created in 2000 to intervene in competence issues affecting the ready-mixed concrete industry. The A.M.B.P.E. unites companies that produce ready-mixed concrete in stationary or mobile plants. The association represents the interests of its members, especially their constant striving for quality and professionalism in the production and installation of ready-mixed concrete.

The centrepiece of every ICCX is the trade exhibition. This is where the concrete and precast concrete industry meets to network and establish business relationships. Companies from all over the world will present their concepts and solutions for modern production of ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete elements at more than 40 booths. According to the Recencement Général de la Population et de l'Habitat (RGPH), about 75 % of the population will live in cities by 2050 - an enormous challenge for the building industry that can only be overcome with modern construction technologies and building materials such as concrete. The trade exhibition grows every year and the 2024 edition will be around 30% larger than in the first year of this event series.

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.
