CICA Industry Days

CICA South Australia confirmed the industry Day is one of the most successful activities staged by the branch.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND QUEENSLAND INDUSTRY DAYS SURPASS EXPECTATIONS

CICA Industry Days in South Australia and Queensland get a major tick of approval.

CICA DID THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY

last year and hosted industry events in each state, in lieu of the National Conference. These state-based Industry Days are a golden opportunity for the crane industry to showcase our capabilities to business leaders in the building, construction, infrastructure, mining, and government sectors, and to spend time building relationships with the people who use or regulate the use of our cranes.

The SA and Queensland events went ahead in late October and early November 2021. The SA team are very experienced at hosting Industry Days, as they have been hosting an event of this nature since 2018. While this was a new experience for Queensland, both events were high calibre and achieved the common goal of providing a platform to have important conversations on industry issues that matter.

The theme ‘Elevating Expectations’ highlights the way the crane industry has redesigned its processes to increase safety and demonstrate best practices to customers, enabling stakeholders and improving sites.

Marcus Rigney, CICA SA state chairman said: “This Industry Day is one of the most successful activities I have seen our association do, and we’re seeing tangible and positive results. As a result of our past Industry Days, we know who we need to work with and how to better go about enhancing safety and efficiency on construction sites.

“Advocacy takes time but, through the Industry Day, we’re making solid steps towards our goals of a safe and efficient industry.”

After the Queensland event, Peter Koschel, CICA QLD state chairman, said: “What a fantastic day for CICA Queensland and our industry, with over 120 guests attending and a broad range of contractors, crane companies, suppliers, and government departments represented.

“I was extremely proud to see the hard work of the Queensland committee make this day such a success.”

Events like this don’t just happen by themselves, so a shout-out to the hard work of the SA and QLD branch committees, Wise Connections team, and CICA National.

The remaining industry days will be hosted in the following states in 2022:

Victoria/Tasmania – Hyatt Place Essendon Fields, 4 March 2022.

New South Wales – Parkroyal Parramatta, 18 March 2022.
