Following introductory remarks from FIDIC’s CEO and president to set the scene for the event, Day 1 of the conference opens with a ‘fireside chat-style’ discussion with a leading personality from the construction sector on some of the current and emerging issues in the fast-changing world of the global industry. This will be followed by a session called Opening the FIDIC contracts toolbox, where we will look at how FIDIC contracts have responded to current challenges, including the pandemic, rising inflation and global conflict and political uncertainty. After this, a Going Underground session will launch the new FIDIC Emerald Book Guide and Reprint for tunnelling contracts and following lunch a session will look at the global use of FIDIC contracts. The first day will conclude with an opportunity to quiz the members of the FIDIC contracts committee on their work and future plans for new and updated contracts. Parallel discussion tables on a range of issues will also take place from 4pm. In the evening, the 2023 Contract Users’ Awards will be unveiled at a gala dinner event.
Day 2 - Wednesday 29 November 2023
Day 2 begins with another look inside the FIDIC Contracts Toolbox where we will look at how to ensure that FIDIC contracts take account of the pace of industry change and business challenges. Issues to be discussed include net zero clauses, offshore windfarm work, the need for collaborative contracting, dealing with brownfield infrastructure, public private partnerships and other key and emerging areas. The morning of Day 2 will also see the presentation of a new FIDIC Practice Note on Dispute Avoidance and the following session will look at the ever-popular area of Contracting and delivering Megaprojects, where we will address the unique challenges of global megaprojects.
