program notes
The program for FIDIC 2000 has been planned with special support and cooperation from the Association of Japanese Consulting Engineers (AJCE) and the China National Association of Engineering Consultants (CNAEC), and will focus on the business opportunities and challenges at the start of the new millennium. The conference will explore the engineering business community’s ability to respond to a worldwide demand for sustainability of both natural resources and the work we do to create the built environment.
Emphasis throughout the conference will be placed on creating an "interactive" dialogue among participants, speakers and panel members with special opportunities that will encourage the involvement of younger professionals in the industry. The program will feature roundtables where participants can freely exchange ideas on improving business practices and solving management issues. Overview remarks will be made by speakers from around the world. Speakers and panel participants represent insights on environmental issues, financing of infrastructure work, productivity of the future workforce, and the business role of the engineering community in the next century.
The conference will leave a special, on-going challenge for the consulting engineering community and partner associations to take the lead on sustainability issues, and to carry this important work forward at future FIDIC conferences, notably FIDIC 20001 in Montreux, Switzerland.
