EDA Annual Convention 2018

 

Presentation

After the DDR Forum & Expo 2017, the European Demolition Association, EDA, organized its Annual Convention 2018 on June 7-9, in Vienna (Austria), this time focusing on demolition and decontamination.

The European Demolition & Decontamination Annual Convention 2018 brings contractors, manufacturers, and associations related to these industries in Europe, to protect its interests around the continent. In previous years, EDA has highlighted demolition is every day more and more linked with other activities such as decontamination and recycling, and for this reason, in the 2018 edition, EDA changes the name of the convention by adding “decontamination”.
