Last year’s conference received a phenomenal response and we are pleased to once again be offering this high profile forum with a focus on quality, value and maximising your time out of the office. Topics have once again been gathered following extensive market research to ensure that you are getting the most cutting-edge information and market updates for the design and construction sector with a focus on some of the biggest projects from around Dubai and the region. Andy White Group Event Director The Big 5 As we all know, a lot has changed since last year, notably with the announcement of Dubai’s successful bid to host the World Expo 2020. Expo 2020 is accelerating new projects and stimulating a drive for new construction and development, which paired with the general sentiment of market recovery in the UAE and wider region means that Dubai and the UAE are once again poised to take the world by storm. Iconic architecture and rapid construction have led to truly transformational growth in this amazing world city and an abundance of opportunities for our sector. We hope that you enjoy the presentations, case studies and panel discussions on offer during the conference and we invite you to also make use of the breaks to visit The Big 5 exhibition. We are also offering over 40 free to attend, CPD certified workshops throughout the week so be sure to review the full Big 5 educational programme agenda to determine how you can truly make the most of this industry platform for all of your sourcing, business intelligence, networking, learning and professional development needs.
