A second, high-level, regional conference has been launched-the LEEA Lifting & Rigging Conference Middle East will take place at the Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, on December 14-15, 2015.

Mark Bridger, Director at LEEA?s organising partner Bridger Howes, said: ?The spotlight has well and truly returned to Dubai and the Middle East ahead of the World Expo 2020, which will take place there in five years time. As the region pioneers new paths of development and innovation it is important that an annual, safety-themed lifting conference positions itself to serve those working in construction, urban development and infrastructure projects over the years leading up to the mega show and beyond.?

It is the respected and authoritative representative body for those who work in every aspect of the industry, from design, manufacture, refurbishment and repair, through to the hire, maintenance and use of lifting equipment.
