WCTS 2023: just a month to go

It is now only one month until the World Crane and Transport Asia 2023 kicks off in Singapore. Fourth and fifth of October will see the industry’s premier international conference take place at the Suntec Convention Centre right in the heart of Singapore.

Organised by International Cranes and Specialized Transport and its publisher, KHL Group, this prestigious event returns to Asia for the first time in nine years. It is not to be missed.

WCTS is well known as a top level gathering of professionals in the crane and specialized transport industry from all over the world. It has established itself as the key global event for engaged stakeholders in the global crane and specialized transport industry to network, learn and share best practices.

Fantastic networking opportunities include an evening reception, a facility tour, farewell drinks, plus all the registration time, breaks and lunch, giving delegates ample time to meet industry peers and potential customers.
