IPAF has also confirmed there will be a networking event that takes place the evening before the conference at the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi (House of the Knights of Rhodes), in the ruins of the Forum of Augustus. Delegates are invited to book their place, and to take advantage of an early-bird discount throughout the month of July.
Peter Douglas, CEO & MD of IPAF, said, “IPAF currently has around 90 members in Italy, it’s an especially vibrant market, with manufacturers, rental companies, suppliers and training centres all actively engaged in influencing the regulatory agenda, developing and delivering best practice and training and working proactively to make the powered access industry as safe as it can be. We felt it was an excellent choice as the next country to host Europlatform, and we are very pleased to confirm our commitment to host the event in Rome after having to reschedule in 2020 owing to the uncertainties of the pandemic.”
