The Zimbabwe Trade Fair Company, the organisers of the annual Zimbabwe Trade Fair and other business shows and related meetings, is set to introduce an infrastructure and the built environment conference and exhibition next month.
Posting on its Twitter handle on Friday, the company indicated that the event, which is expected to be held on 20 and 21 October, is set to bring together stakeholders in the infrastructure and the built environment value chain.
“The inaugural Africa Infrastructure and Built Environment Confex (AfriConfex) is set to be the country’s mega construction and infrastructure event and will be the biggest gathering of buyers and sellers for the entire built environment value chain,” the company said.
A confex is an event that combines a conference and an exhibition.
The confex is set to be held under the theme: “Solid foundation. Stronger future: Exploring linkages in the infrastructure value chain.”
The event comes against a background of the ongoing construction of infrastructure such as highways, dams and housing among others across the country.
The confex, which provides a platform for players in the infrastructure, construction and built environment to showcase their products and services and a forum to discuss issues relating to their sector, becomes the latest show to the ZITF Company’s repertoire of other business events.
The other events under the company’s portfolio include the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, the Mining, Engineering and Transport (MineEntra) exhibition and the Water, Sanitation and Energy (WASHEN) confex.
