From 1st to 2nd October 2009, ABP Induction Systems GmbH will be inviting its customers and suppliers to its 16th international customer conference in Dortmund.
The company is expecting around 400 participants from 27 countries to this year's event in the Congress Centre at Dortmund's Westfalenhallen, the theme of which is "Leadership by Technology".
Wolfgang Andree, Managing Director at ABP: "Following the great encouragement we received after the last customer conference in Dortmund in 2006, we are confident that we will be able to inspire our participants again this year with topical subjects, trends and technologies."
To achieve this, the programme of events will be branch-specific, divided into the areas pouring and heating. In the mornings, talks will be held for the pouring sector on the subjects of "Global trends", "Energy efficiency" and "Practical experience in pouring and casting work", concluded by a panel discussion on the economic situation in the branch. At the same time, talks will be held on global trends, forging, simulations and technologies for participants from the heating sector. In the afternoons, workshops will be held on a wide range of topical subjects. This programme of events will be accompanied by a specialist exhibition, with around 20 ABP partners presenting their products and technologies to visitors.
Alongside the specialist events, participants will be offered a comprehensive range of accompanying events, too. During different tours during and after the event, participants will be given the possibility of exchanging opinions, catching up on the latest information and relaxing away from their day-to-day work. A tour to the Munich Beer Festival (Oktoberfest) is planned, for example.
