The Scaffolding Conference (ScaffCon24) has exclusively revealed to Scaffmag an impressive lineup of industry leaders for its upcoming event on October 11, 2024, at The Belfry Hotel and Resort.

This year’s keynote speaker is Tim Balcon, Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), who will address pressing industry issues and the post-election landscape.

Former NASC Chief to Lead Key Panel

Notably, Robin James, Operations Director at the Temporary Works Forum and former Managing Director of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) will lead a crucial panel discussion titled “Demystifying Temporary Works.”

Joining Balcon and James are other distinguished speakers, including Lee Greatorex, HSE Inspector from the Regulatory Support Unit, Construction Sector of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and Robert Candy, CEO of the Scaffolding Association. These experts will provide valuable insights into the latest industry regulations, best practices, and training initiatives.

Cutting-Edge Panels to Elevate Industry Standards and Practice

The conference will feature two additional panels: “Working at Height Updates” and “Project Management.” These sessions will focus on current scaffolding industry regulations, best practices, skills, and training, offering attendees practical knowledge and strategies to enhance their operations.

Organised by the Scaffolding Association as part of National Scaffolding Week, ScaffCon24 aims to advance industry standards and foster professional development. The event is open to all industry stakeholders and includes an evening dinner dance with a live band and DJ, providing ample networking opportunities in a relaxed setting.

A limited number of early bird tickets are available at a discounted rate of £250 per person plus VAT, exclusively through the event website, scaffoldconference.co.uk. Industry professionals are encouraged to secure their spots promptly, as availability is limited.
