Why there is no time to lose and why the world needs urgent infrastructure investment. How can we make smarter investment decisions to make a real difference? Getting investment right - building more but building better, achieving ethical infrastructure. What role do international funding organisations have in speeding up infrastructure investment?
 

This session will look at how best can the industry engage with politicians and other influential opinion formers to get positive messages across about the need for infrastructure investment. How should construction and infrastructure companies look to influence politicians, governments and funders on the best routes to take for effective investment that makes a real difference to people’s lives? Also, given rising inflation, how can the industry help to keep costs down? 
 

Client expectations are changing at pace with construction companies being asked to deliver and demonstrate increased value – financial and social – and be much more focused on client needs than ever before. Construction companies that are more predictable and can get it right first time will be better placed to be successful in the future. This session will look at how construction and infrastructure companies can develop a customer-centred approach that gives clients what they want and need while demonstrating value.
 

Forum to discuss key/emerging risk management and legal issues for legal directors, general counsels etc.
 

Forum to discuss key and emerging issues facing CFOs and similar.
 

Forum to discuss key and emerging people issues for HR professionals and similar.
 

This session will look at the critical importance of leadership in delivering infrastructure and what this looks like, locally and globally and in all aspects of the industry value chain. How do we build good leadership in construction companies, across projects and in our future leaders to ensure that we deliver the infrastructure the world needs? The session will also highlight best practice examples of project leadership that have delivered for the client and end user.
 

Asset owners, clients, funders and investors are becoming much more focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues as they increasingly apply these non-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities. As a result, the industry needs to make significant progress on decarbonisation, biodiversity and overall sustainability. This session will look at clients and funders’ expectations of consultants in driving net zero in infrastructure and identify how the need to address climate change will change our design assumptions and approach to risk in design.
