Don't miss Europlatform

The theme of the conference is Success in Access Rentals and this year it takes place on Thursday 20 September in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Radisson Blu Hotel.

The Europlatform conference is always thought provoking and challenging and will definitely provide you with some interesting ideas to take back to your company. There is also plenty of opportunity for discussion with the speakers and your fellow delegates in an informal setting.

We are delighted that Italian manufacturer Hinowa has joined JLG in sponsoring the conference and Haulotte is sponsoring the networking event held the evening before at the Scottish Whisky Experience.

The Europlatform conference for European access professionals has established itself as an essential event in the access industry. The one-day conference is targeted at senior and middle managers of rental companies.

The sixth Europlatform conference on 20 September 2012 is taking place in one of the world's most developed access rental markets, the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland. As the sector recovers from the financial crisis, the event will again provide the latest expert advice and strategic thinking on how to succeed in access rental..

The conference will be held in English with simultaneous translations into German, Italian and Spanish.
