It’s the Annual E&C Industry event you will not want to miss. Come join us at the annual forum to hear from prominent and Important Engineering & Construction Industry speakers address the current climate! As in past years, Forum XVI attendees will have unmatched access to a prestigious roster of Executives of Owners/Operators, Federal Government Policy Advisors, Financial Experts and Academicians who have agreed to share their high-level perspectives on the crucially important issues raised by current E&C activity.
Forum XVI’s daylong program is organized to maximize audience involvement.
