An exclusive summit for 100 of the world’s most senior leaders in the infrastructure sector. This invitation only event will provide a forum for leaders in the global infrastructure sector to connect with peers from around the world to share knowledge and to discuss solutions to major issues facing them, their leadership teams and organisations.     

Delegates attending will include CEOs and c-suite executives from the global infrastructure community, including those working in government, finance, consulting engineering, construction, professional services, supply chain, construction products manufacturers, merchants, academia, trade associations, asset owners and clients. Invited guests from other industries will also attend to bring different perspectives and to challenge infrastructure sector conventions. 

By attending the event, delegates will make deep relationships among peers to enable greater collaboration, debate and reflection to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the global infrastructure sector and the organisations within it.  

At this year’s event, we will consider: 

• It feels like we have been debating sustainability goals and regulations, the skills shortage, digital transformation, cost management and efficiency for many years.  We are making progress, but is it too slow? Do we need radical culture change to speed up and embed progress? 
• How does the sector collaborate more effectively and work to a common framework for delivering decarbonisation of infrastructure?  Continued work on a collaboration programme which started as a result of our very first Global Leadership Summit. 
• How does the sector collaborate more effectively and work to a common framework for embedding AI and using this to drive better outcomes for our clients, programmes and our own organisations? This will be the ‘next chapter’ of a report produced as part of the 2024 Global Leadership Forum programme. 
• How do we close the gap between the designers, contractors and their supply chain of construction product manufacturers and merchants to ensure the right construction products are specified and delivered to enable the successful decarbonisation of infrastructure projects?

The Official FIDIC Contract Users’ Regional Conferences are aimed at the contract user community across FIDIC’s global geographical regions and provide a vital forum for industry professionals to discuss key issues and learn about the latest developments and trends. The 2025 conference will focus on the Americas and Caribbean region.

This one-day conference, to be staged online and delivered in-house by FIDIC, offers a unique opportunity to share progress on the application and use of FIDIC contracts in the Americas and Caribbean region and internationally. The conference will include participation from multilateral development banks, other funders, private sector organisations and clients, government, engineers, contractors, investors, lawyers, consultants and many other stakeholders who have an interest in the use and application of FIDIC contracts across the Americas and the Caribbean. 

Attendees at this event will be able to take part in a number of sessions throughout the day led by legal and contractual experts. This one-day conference for the Americas and Caribbean region is a must-attend event for all those working with, or contemplating using, FIDIC contracts in the region.

The Official FIDIC Contract Users’ Conferences are an excellent forum for stakeholders to engage with FIDIC and FIDIC experts, but they are also a place where delegates are encouraged to engage with each other. FIDIC contract users are vital stakeholders for FIDIC, so helping them build strong relationships with each other strengthens the network that supports FIDIC.

Tickets are available now for this online at a special discounted rate of 30%. The full agenda and speaker details will be available prior to the event. 

Please note that a certificate of attendance will be provided to each conference participant which may be used for CPD verification in your local region.

Smart Infrastructure: Equality, Resilience and Innovation for a Sustainable World

The infrastructure sector continues to be in the spotlight as world governments look on investments in their national social and physical infrastructure as being crucial to delivering on their economic plans over the years ahead. Previous conferences have explored the various aspects of how we ensure we deliver the above.

It is fitting that 2025 is hosted in Cape Town, as the G20 presidency is handed over to South Africa. With a theme for the year around fostering solidarity, equality and sustainable development, there could be no better time or place for the infrastructure sector to meet and show its excellence, integrity and significance in shaping a better tomorrow for all.

This event is attended by the wider infrastructure industry including clients, governments, politicians, contractors, lawyers, financiers and architects to name but a few. Attendees will be able to take advantage of unrivalled networking opportunities and discussions can also take place with key partners to the conference, in network areas as part of forums, to help build capacity building and knowledge sharing.  

The 2025 FIDIC Global Infrastructure Conference will be held in the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 21-23 September 2025 and we invite the engineering, construction and infrastructure sector to join us in South Africa to help enact the changes we need today to create a better tomorrow.

FIDIC has teamed up with the Confederation of International Contractors’ Associations (CICA) to organise a webinar on the avoidance of disputes under FIDIC contracts. CICA is a non-profit, voluntary and global association of trade associations representing member construction firms from their respective regions. 

The webinar, on Tuesday 25 March 2025 at 2pm CET, is set to bring together top industry experts to discuss best practices in minimising conflicts under FIDIC contracts. 

The CICA-FIDIC webinar, Avoidance of Disputes under FIDIC Contracts, will provide attendees with the opportunity to gain valuable insights and strategies for avoiding costly disputes on construction projects.

The key dispute avoidance provisions of FIDIC contracts will be highlighted at the webinar and those attending will gain excellent insights and information from key experts in the field of international construction contracts.
