IAPA judges announced
The judges for
the International
Awards for
Powered Access
(IAPA) 2014 have been announced.
The IAPA awards ceremony and
dinner take place on the same day
as the IPAF Summit conference,
3 April 2014, at the historic
Beaumont Estate Hotel in Windsor,
near London, UK, (just 15 minutes
from Heathrow Airport).
They follow the remarkable
success of the 2013 IPAF Summit
and IAPAs in Miami - the first time
they were held in the USA.
Jointly organized by KHL’s
Access International, Access Lift

Powered Access Federation (IPAF),
the IAPAs celebrate best practice
and excellence in the powered
access industry, attracting
audiences of around 450 each
year.
The awards are open for entries
until 20 December 2013, so you
still have plenty of time to be a
part of this great occasion. Find
