The Forum was launched at the 2007 BAUMA
- As well as invited speakers, exhibitors can book time in the programme to present new products and discuss issues of concern. Events will be held on all six days of the fair, from 19 to 25 April. For the tunnelling industry, early bookings include a presentation about an adjustable precast concrete segmental lining system with limited yieldability on Tuesday and one on innovative roadheader developments for construction on Thursday.
- All visitors to the show can attend the Forum events and lectures free of charge.
- Located centrally in Hall C2, the Forum this year covers a more extensive and broad-ranging spectrum of themes than at the last event in 2007. According to Exhibition Manager Georg Moller, exhibitors from all sectors of the industry have proposed interesting themes for the expanded programme. At the first Forum in 2007, some 60 speakers delivered lectures on mining, tunnel construction and processing technology.
