Top rental speakers at September Europlatform conference
01 August 2012
Top level speakers from Riwal, Loxam and Ramirent will give presentations at the Europlatform rental conference in Edinburgh on 20 September this year.
Although targeted at the aerial platform rental sector - and jointly organised by Access International magazine and IPAF - the event is of equal relevance to the general equipment rental sector.
Riwal chief executive officer Norty Turner will focus on the latest techniques for measuring rental business performance; Mikael Kämpe, director of group fleet at Ramirent, looks at total cost of ownership; and Loxam's director of marketing, Patrick Rizzo, reports on how rental companies can best use social media channels to boost business.
The theme of the conference is Success in Access Rentals and it takes place on Thursday 20 September in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Radisson Blu Hotel. The conference is held in English but there will be simultaneous translation into German, Italian and Spanish.
JLG is the main conference sponsor and Haulotte is sponsoring the networking event held the evening before at the Scottish Whisky Experience.
