Complementing the exhibition, the conference will host panel discussions and keynote sessions on automation, telematics, and AI-driven innovations transforming the industry.
The Confex will conclude with an exclusive networking dinner, offering a valuable platform for collaboration between contractors, end-users, suppliers, and government representatives.
