WE KEEP BUILDING: 3rd Mortar-Convention Special Announcements

Let us talk about a truly worldwide community event: our 3rd Mortar-Convention, a Live Event Online. Accessible from New Zealand to Tierra del Fuego, from Hokkaido to the Aleut Islands.

We already have over 20 contributions in our program such as scientific lectures, product presentations and company profiles. Ferdinand Leopolder will moderate the event live from Munich with the assistance of the drymix.info team. As a special live appearance our Technical Chairman Prof. Dr. Johann Plank, Technische Universität München (TUM) will talk to you. And get ready for some additional surprises, too.

We at drymix.info value personal contact and interaction the most. But due to the current situation, travel restrictions, home office etc. we all have to change the way we communicate: The 3rd Mortar-Convention offers you the possibility to take part in a community event contact-free and online, while still enjoying the full content that you are used to from our „real“, physical drymix.info or SEADMA/MEDMA events. The admission is by all means reasonable. AND you do not have to travel!
