The third BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA, an international trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines and construction vehicles, will be held at the Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC) in Johannesburg, South Africa from 13-16 March 2018.
Stefan Otto, chairman of the local industry association CONMESA, said the choice of venue and the new timing leaves plenty of time for planning, offering the ideal basis for a successful exhibition.
“With 2018 rapidly approaching as the year of the trade fair, CONMESA is happy to learn that BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA 2018 has decided to innovate and break with the norm once again by hosting their next trade fair in March 2018,” said Otto. “As advisory board members and partners, we at CONMESA support the team at BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA working so diligently to bring us this international trade fair once again.”
Elaine Crewe, CEO of the event organiser, BC Expo South Africa, is convinced that the new dates in March and the three-year BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA cycle are ideal for the industry and the region. “BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA's three-year cycle is tailor-made to the needs of the African market. It also gives all the companies involved the chance to prepare thoroughly for such a large event.”
A total of 616 exhibitors from 42 countries, as well as around 14,300 visitors from 75 countries attended the last BAUMA CONEXPO AFRICA in September 2015. In total, 13% of visitors were from outside South Africa.
