To promote the precast concrete industry and strengthen links with specifiers in construction, Cerib organizes what it calls ‘Les matinales’ morning sessions.
Created in 2010 on the request of the precast concrete products federation (Fédération de l’Industrie du Béton – FIB), the ‘Matinales’ morning sessions address different issues that draw attention to the advantages of precast-concrete products and construction systems in sustainable construction and development:

Given the success of these gatherings, Cerib diversified the event. In 2012 it introduced topic or event-related evening sessions such as ‘Concrete & Man’, attended by prestigious guests like architect Rudy Ricciotti. Another variations is the new ‘Breakfast’ session that was launched in 2015.
