Dear congress participants,
we would like to welcome you all to the 27th Annual Congress of the Drilling Contractors Association (DCA) here in Leipzig in the east of the Republic.
After last year’s annual congress in Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK was extremely well attended despite Brexit and the Covid 19 pandemic, from DCA’s point of view the great interest in this year’s congress eclipses everything that has gone before. In addition to a few guests, for the first time more than 200 participants from a total of around 90 member companies will attend this congress. A novelty!
We would like to point out in advance that due to the large number of participants there may be delays during the congress in the ballroom and in the foyer or during lunch and dinner. We hope for your understanding!
Digitalisation is also progressing steadily at the DCA. After we had already dispensed with the standard reproduction of the congress book last year and only made an abridged version available as a hard copy, from this year onwards the flow of information on the event will be exclusively via digital media.
On this so-called “Congress Website” all important information is stored and available to you at any time. If you have any further questions, your DCA team will, of course, also be available in person during the annual congress!
We wish you a successful congress!
Your DCA Team
P.S.: We would be very pleased to receive your feedback!
