ICCX
Central Europe

The ICCX Central Europe will open its doors for the 11th time. The two-day conference with accompanying trade exhibition is considered the leading industry event of the Central European concrete industry and will take place on 12 and 13 February 2025. The venue will once again be the well-established conference hotel Double Tree by Hilton Hotel & Conference in Warsaw, where ICCX Central Europe has been held since 2019.

At the heart of the event is the conference programme, in which international experts from the construction and concrete industry will share their knowledge and expertise in various technical sessions. The conference languages are English and Polish. All lectures will be simultaneously translated and the presentations in English and Polish will be shown synchronously on two large screens.

The 2-day conference program is divided into four sessions. On the first day after the opening session, which deals with the economic and ecological situation of the industry, as well as methods to improve efficiency in everyday work, the second session in the afternoon will focus on modern building materials and innovations in the industry.

In the third conference session on the morning of the second day of the event, experienced experts will then present their knowledge on the subject of precast concrete elements. In addition to modern precast concrete solutions and sophisticated adaptive formwork systems, the presentations will highlight opportunities offered by artificial intelligence in the precast concrete plant.

The final conference session will focus on concrete products. Following presentations on the concrete plant of the future and the recycling of mineral sludge in the core concrete of concrete products, a panel discussion on the current situation and the latest developments in the concrete products industry will conclude the conference program of ICCX Central Europe 2025.
