Bookings are now open for the annual FIDIC Global Infrastructure Conference which takes place in Geneva from 8-10 September 2024.
Infrastructure professionals from all over the world are set to gather in Geneva later this year for the annual conference of FIDIC, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers.
The leading global industry event takes place from 8-10 September 2024 and the conference theme, Transforming lives with infrastructure – Investing in and building a better world for all, will frame a series of discussions on the key challenges facing the consulting and engineering industry. The President Wilson Hotel in Geneva will host the annual flagship event which, as ever, promises to be a must-attend for the global engineering, construction and infrastructure sector.
The conference will bring together those across the sector that will deliver over $139 trillion dollars of investment up to 2050. Given the global need for infrastructure that is sustainable as well as efficient, the timing of the conference couldn’t be more important. Industry leaders and decision-makers from consulting engineering firms, contractors, governments, civic society, international organisations and financial institutions will be at the event in Geneva, providing a unique opportunity to discuss the issues that matter to the industry.
