The event will remain in the Kazakh metropolis of Almaty, but from this year it will take place at a new venue %u2013 the Royal Tulip Hotel. With the change to the new location, the organisers were able to realise more attractive ticket prices, among other things. The registration phase has already begun, so interested professionals from Kazakhstan and neighbouring countries can now register to take part. The internationally proven concept of congress and exhibition makes ICCX Eurasia a must-attend event for concrete producers and industry experts.ICCX Academy as an integral part of the lecture programmeA special highlight in the programme is once again the ICCX Academy %u2013 a concrete technology workshop lasting several hours over two mornings. The course will be led by Prof J%u00fcrgen Oecknick from PSA Zurich GmbH, Switzerland. Prof Oecknick has already impressed the participants in previous The new venue for ICCX Eurasia is the Hotel Royal Tulip in Almaty. Visitors can look forward to attractive admission prices and continue to benefit from the compact programme of trade exhibition and congress. The ICCX series of events is known as an expert forum for suppliers, decision-makers from the concrete and precast concrete industry, scientists, planners and engineers.Content summary of the ICCX Academy 2025:When complaints generate benefits %u2013 an industry training course for the concrete industry in five key areasWhen and why do our customers complain? Who is responsible, how do we deal with each other and where is the potential for the best possible solution for everyone involved?Everything revolves around the concrete plant, from planning and production to processing the products on the construction site. The focus is on defects that occur in all phases of the structural formation and hardening of cement stone, mortar and concrete. Much is already decided during the dimensioning of the raw materials. But how is a product manager supposed to prevent quality problems if there is insufficient information on the application potential of the starting components and their interactions in the mixture?This is why, for example, the third ICCX Academy event will examine the far-reaching process engineering impact that could arise from the wrong combination of aggregates. In addition, standard tests of mineral additives will be analysed, which in principle offer considerable potential for application technology. However, an examination of the mode of action in the building material mixture often results in a completely contrary picture, up to the triggering of quality-reducing effects caused by the integration of these additives into the material system.The same also applies to the combination of cement with chemical admixtures. In this case, it is already decided in the binder phase of the final products to what extent the specified process engineering requirements can be achieved in full. Anyone who does not know the exact functioning of the construction chemicals used and their interactions with the binder used, or has no way of measuring these in a practical manner, will ultimately have to bear the full burden of any quality reductions in the cement stone, mortar and concrete.Part 1 of this workshop is a short introduction for new participants, summarising the knowledge gained in the last two events. Furthermore, the causes of complaints, defects and damage will be analysed in more detail. The second part of the workshop will focus on %u201cDiscolouration and efflorescence on mortar and concrete surfaces - a study from construction practice%u201d. J. Oecknick
