As if this annual event was not enough, our Annual Meeting will be celebrated on 10 April during the bauma 2025 trade fair in Munich. But also, bauma will receive the General Assembly, our Networking Event and our long awaited Diamond Award Ceremony.

The latter is, for me, a real source of pride, due to the amount of participants and the exceptional quality of the submissions received. I am sure that our honourable jury will have a very difficult time choosing a winner in both categories, ‘Job’ and ‘Product’. Neither will it be easy for the public, invited once again to vote in the ‘Special Public Prize’ as a popular recognition from our audience on LinkedIn.

Our Yearbook launch is also set during bauma, in which we gather all the association achievements and activities from the past year, as well as moving words and knowledge from the national associations that integrate IACDS.

On behalf of the International Association of Concrete Drillers and Sawers, I extend you the invitation to join us in this Networking Event as well as the Diamond Award Ceremony, in which you can also vote and be part of the popular jury. More information is available on: www.diamondaward.org

2025 appears to be a very busy and challenging year for the industry, but we are eager to keep reinforcing our connections and shaping the future, through fostering innovations and working together.

Embrace the chance to network and learn from your colleagues, celebrate excellence through the Diamond Award, and I hope we meet in Munich.
