BREAKING RECORDS 🪨🛠️👷♂️👷♀️🇮🇹: The organisers of GIC-EXPO 2024 say that this year's edition of the European concrete industry event broke records, unveiled diverse innovation, and demonstrated unwavering optimism and commitment towards sustainability, driving the sector towards a vibrant and resilient future. The GIC 2024 exhibition and conference buzzed with record-breaking participation at Piacenza Expo in Italy from 18-20th April. The event hosted 263 exhibitors, up from 234 at the previous edition in 2022, while visitor attendance soared. Over 6,000 visitors from Italy and abroad descended on the halls of Piacenza Expo for GIC 2024, compared to around 5,000 in 2022. “The growth in visitor numbers is certainly exciting, but what truly matters is the quality of interactions at the event – and we put considerable effort into ensuring that the right people attend to help exhibitors expand their businesses,” explained Fabio Potestà, director of Mediapoint & Exhibitions, the company behind GIC. "Many of our exhibitors are highly selective about the events they participate in and find that GIC's laser focus on the concrete industry makes it easier to raise awareness and make valuable connections compared to more general construction exhibitions." A survey conducted at GIC revealed that 72% of exhibitors believe specialised exhibitions such as GIC foster higher quality interactions with visitors compared to general construction events.
