About the Workshop:

Ensuring that critical infrastructure projects such as roads, highways, railways, ports,
etc are properly managed is extremely crucial. It is a major concern to the broad
group of stakeholders ranging from the government, developers, architects,
contractors, commissioners to the public at large. Its simply not acceptable that
these projects already on track are delayed or abandoned due to the lack of proper
project management. Apart from the fact that these are crucial for the city and
country; this will have a huge impact on economic growth and will weaken the
capacity for such projects in the future as skills in the industry are lost.
Project management and delivery strategies can accelerate projects and facilitate the
construction of infrastructure. This workshop will address the construction process
from inception to completion. This will also apply to projects that involve
maintenance, repair, refurbishment, decommissioning or demolition. This workshop
is designed to improve collaboration and allow you to complete your projects on
time and within budget. It will also help you improve efficiency and transparency at
all levels of the project. The workshop will be applicable for projects of any size
giving sound principles as a basis together with more specific recommendations that
can be tailored to specific projects.
This event will provide you with strategic skills to manage your infrastructure
projects effectively to enhance your ROI and bottom lines.

More About the Event

Why You Cannot Miss this Event:

Who Should Attend:

marcus evans takes great pride in organising our 2nd Annual African
Infrastructure Projects large scale event scheduled for the 18th 20th
September, 2013, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This large scale conference is designed to attract all those who are involved in
the development of rail, roads and port infrastructure:

Infrastructure development is an essential building block in Africas long-term

economic growth and development, and that goal can best be accomplished
through both a regional and continent wide approach. As we enter the new
age of infrastructure, countries are now investing in projects to become more
urbanised with an improved economic status. Developing nations are igniting
the age of infrastructure including massive long-term projects that may build
or expand roads, ports, and rail. Thus, African countries are now looking into
ways to revamp infrastructure. Given the lack of sufficient Public funds,
governments are now looking into different means of funding and partners
with the private sector and foreign investors.
Both the private and the public sectors are looking forward to brainstorming
how they can exchange knowledge, catalyse public-private alliances and
concentrate efforts of regional strategic leaders, thereby assisting them to
reach necessary targets.
Attend this event to examine the critical issues in African Infrastructure
Projects, explore how this sector can grow in the context of an economic crisis
and how to deliver more with less, thereby taking advantage of the
unprecedented opportunities in this sector.
The streams allocated in the conference include:
Day One
Stream I : Project Planning and Economics
Stream II : Operations and Maintenance
Day Two
Stream III : PPPs and Infrastructure Financing
Stream IV : Innovative Construction Technologies
Day Three Project Management Workshop
Delivering Successful Infrastructure and Construction Projects from Inception to
Completion by Leveraging on Project Management

Attending this Premier marcus evans Conference will Enable You to

Gain Insights into Best Practice Strategies and Techniques Including:
