The Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) has announced that the 2021 CPA Conference will now be held on Thursday 14th October 2021 at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre in Fillongley near Coventry.The conference was scheduled to take place on Wednesday 28th April 2021, however in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term uncertainty regarding when mass gatherings can take place, it has been decided to postpone the event to later in the year.The CPA Conference is a one-day event organised by the CPA, the leading trade association for the plant-hire sector in the UK. The CPA has over 1,700 members who supply 85% of hired plant to the construction industry.In order to address some of the key issues for the construction plant sector prior to the CPA Conference taking place in October 2021, the CPA is introducing a six-month webinar programme.CPA Chief Executive Kevin Minton said: "In this time of uncertainty, it is in the best interests of everyone if we move the conference to October 2021. We look forward to coming back bigger and better than ever before with a programme that engages and addresses the issues of our time, whilst also looking ahead to the post-COVID age. Some issues won't wait for the rescheduled CPA Conference in October 2021, so we are introducing a programme of webinars over a period of six months, to address some topics of immediate relevance and concern that we would have covered in at the Conference in April."
