Officials for Hanley Wood, owner and producer of the World of Concrete (WOC) exhibition, have announced plans to launch World of Concrete India, which will debut in October at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, India.
With a booming construction industry, India has been in the process of modernizing its
infrastructure, including highways, bridges, airports, ports, metro and mono rails, power and projects. With such activity, India is an ideal host for the well-known WOC brand and the benefits it offers to exhibitors, attendees and the surrounding communities.
“We are very excited to bring the WOC brand to India,” said Tom Cindric, group director, World of Concrete. “Our partnership with the Indian Concrete Institute, the leading organization for all segments of cement and concrete in India will make this a must-attend event for the construction marketplace in this part of the world.”
Hanley Wood will produce the event along with Inter Ads Exhibitions, a leading organizer of international exhibitions and conferences in India. With local support from the Indian Concrete Institute (ICI), the event welcomes suppliers from the commercial concrete and masonry industries to the capital of the Indian state of Ardhra Pradesh. The exhibition will serve as a platform to highlight the latest products, technologies, tools and equipment in the industry. ICI will organize its ICI-IWC conference, which was last held in 2008 in Delhi. This four-day conference will focus on innovative technologies and solutions pertaining to the global construction marketplace.
“The coming together of the Indian Concrete Institute and the WOC is a milestone event for all the professionals engaged in the art and science of making concrete structures in India,” said Er. Jose Kurian, president, Indian Concrete Institute. “This will change the way the information on Concrete will be accessed by all. The showcasing of all the latest developments across the globe on all aspects of concrete technology and its use on one stage will bring all concrete professionals to Hyderabad during the international conference and exhibition. I hope the partnership will sustain itself for the coming years.”
The HITEX Exhibition Centre is a world-class exhibition facility in Hyderabad, a vibrant state capital and hub of commercial activity. Spread over 70 acres with well-planned infrastructure to host international tradeshows and events, the venue is one of India’s top destinations for international exhibitions, conferences, tradeshows and corporate events.
