ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- Plans for a tyre industry conference held as part of the next staging of Tyrexpo Africa in Johannesburg in March 2010, have been announced by event organisers ECI International. The third staging of Tyrexpo Africa will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg (SCC) on 4, 5 and 6 March 2010.

ECI wants to extend the scope and pulling power of the exhibition and has been encouraged to add a conference session by exhibitors and partners in South Africa. The one day conference will focus on key issues in tyre and rubber manufacturing, tyre retailing, developments in technology and the impact of new legislation. Keynote speakers will be drawn from the South African industry, together with major international players.

“Tyrexpo Africa has established itself as an important trading event over the past five years and now we are keen to broaden its appeal to participants by staging a top quality industry conference,” explained ECI sales director Rowena Suthers.
