The Leading Annual FIDIC Contract User's Event for Successfully Utilising the FIDIC Suite of Contracts and Effectively Resolving Disputes in the Middle East
Event Overview: FIDIC Middle East Contract Users' Conference 2011
Following the resounding success of last year’s inaugural FIDIC contract users’ event for the Middle East, which attracted more than 170 attendees from the region and beyond, we are delighted to announce the dates for next year’s conference which will be taking place once again in Abu Dhabi on 23 -24 February 2011.
Nowhere else will you be able to get first-hand insights from those responsible for drafting and updating the FIDIC contracts combined with the practical experience of lawyers and engineers working in the Middle East region.
Whether you are an engineer, contractor or architect looking to benefit from the opportunities to get involved in the latest big projects, or you are a litigator or arbiter aiming to capitalise on projects that may have encountered difficulties as a result of the recent crisis in the construction sector, then you need to hear the latest updates and developments that relate to the FIDIC suite of contracts.
