“The Future of Global Project Activity”

This includes a detailed breakdown of active and new project construction numbers by region, sector, and status; growing regions of activity; leaders in the industry; and the future of downstream construction activity moving forward. Mr. Nichols will provide a global overview, as well as a more detailed look at the Americas.
