In 2018, the International Association of Concrete Drillers & Sawers, IACDS, will be celebrating the Annual Convention, in Tokyo (Japan), on May 21st-23rd. The event will be celebrated in the framework of the Japanese Association General Assembly, to be held in May 23rd, 2018.

The Convention combines professional knowledge-sharing through a number of conference sessions, as well as a showcase of the best products and services presented by the relevant companies of the trade (in the Exhibition area). While leisure activities (dinners, tours, etc.) will promote the fraternization and networking among our participants.

This event will clearly create a frame of reference for the debate between the decision- makers of the trade, cultivating the exchange of best practice and offering new opportunities for all the actors. The professional ticket to the event includes on the first day a visit to industry locations (jobsites, manufacturing facilities…) and official opening of the Annual Convention with a welcome cocktail in the convention’s hotel. Further on the scond day it includes conference sessions (interpretation English-Japanese), lunch and networking and General Assembly (for IACDS members only) and a gala dinner in the evening of the second day.
