ELEVarte          

A new show called ELEVarte (Elevation + Art) is being organised to let visitors experience powered access equipment in a fun and relaxed environment.

ELEVarte will take place the day after the Europlatform conference, from 17 to 18 September 2010 in Madrid, Spain at the exhibition grounds El Olivar – Alcalá de Henares (just 29 km from the conference hotel in the city). 

ELEVarte is a joint initiative of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and the Spanish magazine Movicarga. The event aims to draw together access industry professionals from the Spanish and Latin American markets. It follows the successful framework of other European events such as Vertikal Days in the UK, Platformers’ Days in Germany and Verticaal Dagen in the Netherlands.

ELEVarte will feature a meeting place where exhibitors and visitors can make use of a continuous catering service available during opening hours, included in the entrance fee. More information for exhibitors and visitors is at www.elevarte.es
