Delivering Sustainable Challenges to Global Solutions



We live in an increasingly global society where the solutions to the major infrastructure and development challenges we face must be widely accepted, and above all sustainable, to be effective. As the need for developing and redeveloping towns, cities and urban spaces increases, and as emerging economies race ahead and new markets expand at breakneck speed, the need for well thought out solutions becomes ever more critical.

Step forward consultants and engineers

Whilst scientists explain climate change and the threat to the built and natural environment, it is consultants and e ngineers who are charged with finding ways to alleviate the effects. In the interconnected economy in which we live, ensuring sustainable solutions will be an international task.

FIDIC 2007 Singapore explored the key factors for successful relationships between partners; FIDIC 2008 Quebec challenged consulting engineers to build a stronger industry that can better serve society. FIDIC 2009 London will define how the sector can take the lead in planning and delivering solutions to the key global challenges facing the world’s infrastructure.

FIDIC 2009 London conference will highlight and raise awareness of the critical contribution that consultants and engineers can make in addressing today’s challenges. Working in close partnership with governments, funding institutions, developers and development agencies, FIDIC 2009 London conference will be the place for leading and shaping debate, and for working together to promote effective, long-term sustainable solutions to the world’s key infrastructure and development challenges.

With an eye to the future, the conference also includes a young professionals’ programme and regional networking events. The FIDIC 2009 conference will generate specific output to be addressed by FIDIC, member firms and the member associations. The business programme takes place at the conference venue, the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre (QEIICC).

This is your chance to attend a conference that is hoping to make a difference. Help contribute, debate, and work together to promote our industry and address our challenges with our peers, and we look forward to welcoming you in September.
