The second annual Scaffolding Conference, organised by the Scaffolding Association, was a resounding success that empowered many in attendance from all areas of the scaffolding and access industry. 

Held last week at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre in Coventry, the event proved to be a pivotal gathering for scaffolding professionals, highlighting the industry’s commitment to education and innovation.

With a theme centred around “Gaining the Advantage,” the Scaffolding Conference 2023 sought to address the evolving challenges and opportunities facing the scaffolding sector in an ever-changing world. In a highly competitive landscape, the pursuit of gaining an edge has become essential for businesses, and this year’s conference aimed to equip delegates with the knowledge and tools needed to do just that.

The day-long event featured the Scaff Star Awards and a robust lineup of keynote speakers representing various facets of the scaffolding industry. Attendees had the privilege of hearing insights from leaders in construction law, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), the National Federation of Builders (NFB), and experts in brand management. These presentations provided invaluable insights into the latest industry trends, regulatory updates, and strategies for success.

One of the notable highlights of this year’s conference was the significant increase in exhibitors compared to the previous year.

The exhibition area buzzed with activity as industry leaders and innovators showcased their products and services. Among the prominent exhibitors were major system scaffolding manufacturers, including Afix Group, Layher UK, PERI, PILOSIO, Scafom-Rux, and Stepup Scaffold. Their presence allowed delegates to explore cutting-edge scaffolding solutions and technologies, fostering networking and collaboration opportunities.

The Scaffolding Conference 2023 offered a knowledge-sharing platform and encouraged industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and explore new possibilities. The event underscored the scaffolding sector’s commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and excellence.

Dave Mitchell, a scaffolding company owner attending the conference, expressed his enthusiasm: “This conference has been an eye-opener. The industry is evolving rapidly, and being here has given me a better understanding of how to adapt and stay ahead. The presentations were insightful, and I made some valuable connections with exhibitors that could benefit my business.”

Staying ahead of the curve is crucial in an industry characterised by constant change. The Scaffolding Conference 2023 succeeded in empowering delegates with the knowledge and tools necessary to “Gain the Advantage” and thrive in the ever-competitive world of scaffolding.

As the Scaffolding Conference 2023 concludes its second year, anticipation is already building for what promises to be an even more enlightening and inspiring event in the years to come, further solidifying its place as a must-attend gathering for scaffolding professionals.
