The second ICCX West Africa will again take place at the Grand Arena in Accra, Ghana, on 16 and 17 April 2024. A trade exhibition with more than 50 national and international companies from the cement, concrete and precast concrete industry will once again present the perfect opportunity to expand the professional network and create important contacts in 2024. The AHK – Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Ghana – will again play a key role in addressing visitors as an important local partner. Local associations and organisations, such as the Ghana Standards Authority and the Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry, have already pledged their support, so that the second edition of ICCX West Africa will also be a complete success.

There is great need for such an event format for the concrete industry in West Africa, because until now there has been no opportunity to meet and exchange in such a concentrated and focused way. If you would like to attend as a visitor or exhibitor, make a note of the date now and subscribe to the newsletter on the event website to keep up to date. As is typical for an ICCX International Concrete Conference & Exhibition, we will present a very targeted trade exhibition with international exhibitors, as well as an optimally adapted lecture programme coordinated with the local associations and institutions, which will cover the upcoming challenges in the field of infrastructure, energy supply and affordable housing.

Неавторизованные партнеры мероприятий ad-media GmbH / CPI Concrete Plant International / ICCX
На протяжении нескольких лет различные сторонние компании, занимающиеся бронированием номеров в отелях, активно привлекают к сотрудничеству участников мероприятий ICCX. Как правило, эти компании утверждают, что они получили информацию о Вас от организаторов ICCX, и предлагают свои услуги по бронированию номеров в отелях, где проходят выставки ICCX. В частности, они настоятельно рекомендуют либо оформить новую броньв отеле, либо подтвердить уже имеющуюся. При этом Вас просят указать данные Вашей кредитной карты.
Обратите внимание, что это мошенничество!
К сожалению, были случаи, когда эти компании подтверждали бронирование, снимали деньги с кредитных карт, а затем отменяли бронирование без дополнительного уведомления незадолго до мероприятия. Эти компании не связаны с ad-media/CPI/ICCX, и услуги по бронированию гостиничных номеров, которые они пытаются вам продать, не являются законными. Пожалуйста, воспользуйтесь специальной формой на нашем официальном сайте для безопасного бронирования гостиничных номеров.
