Organised by 102psi  |  October 1–3, 2025  |  Hilton Old Town, Antwerp, Belgium

102psi is proud to unveil the program for the first-ever edition of The Global OTR Conference, taking place from October 1–3, 2025, at the Hilton Old Town in Antwerp, Belgium.

This new international event is the first of its kind to bring together the full Off-The-Road (OTR) tire value chain in one place—from manufacturers and service providers to recyclers, technology developers, and fleet operators. The conference is built around a clear backbone: the OTR tyre lifecycle — and equally, a powerful driver: sustainability. As the industry faces pressure to reduce emissions, extend product life, and create circular systems, The Global OTR Conference presents a forward-facing agenda that treats sustainable lifecycle management not as a theme, but as a necessity.
