Demolition Summit underway…

The 2010 Demolition Summit is underway now at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam.

Around 150 demolition professionals from across the world have gathered in Amsterdam for the 2010 Demolition Summit and Awards.

The morning session has seen presentations by Howard Button of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, John Woodward of the Institute of Demolition Engineers and from contractors from Austria and Italy.

However, the European flavour of the event will take a more global swing this afternoon with presentations on the implosion of the Athlone Towers in South Africa and on demolition safety from a US perspective.

Presentation content aside, it has allowed us to meet for the first time Fabio Bruno from Brazil, and Demo Diva Simone Bruni from New Orleans.
