Success at the European Conference 2024: Construction Repair, Reinforcement and Protection
3/12/2024
On 28 November, in collaboration with the Spanish association ARPHO, we held the European Conference 2024: Repair, Reinforcement and Protection in Construction. This international event was held at the Centro de Estudios y Experimentación de Obras Públicas (CEDEX) in Madrid, and brought together speakers of great level and interest in the construction industry for a whole day. Both international and national speakers were able to present to approximately 200 attendees, who had access to simultaneous translation throughout the event.

First networking session
The program included three conference sessions and a round table. There were also two networking sessions where attendees could stop to meet the speakers and sponsors of the event, who had personalised stands.
In addition, the ACRP and ARPHO libraries continue to grow thanks to the working groups of specialists working to generate new publications, and the event was the chosen venue to present the new guides of both associations.
To end the day, two international guests presented the event that Brussels will host next year: EUROBRIDGE 2025.

Finally, the ARPHO EMA 2024 Awards were held and the winners in the TFG/TFM and TESIS categories were unveiled. Plaques of recognition were also presented to the speakers and the current presidents of ACRP and ARPHO presented a special recognition to the former presidents of both associations in a very emotional moment for the veterans.
From ACRP we are very grateful to the sponsors, who made this event possible. And of course to the speakers, who were the heart and soul of the day, thank you for sharing your knowledge. And to the attendees, who were a very participative and involved audience.
