FIDIC Official Regional Contract Users' Conference 2022
The FIDIC Official Regional Contract Users' Conference 2022 was a series of online events organized by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) in May 2022. These conferences aimed to bring together the global contract users' community across different regions, including Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific. The events provided a platform for stakeholders such as multilateral development banks, private sector organizations, government entities, engineers, contractors, investors, and consultants to discuss the application and use of FIDIC contracts internationally and regionally.
Key topics covered during the conferences included updates on FIDIC's suite of contracts, insights into the latest developments in the contracts arena, and discussions on the use of FIDIC contracts in various regions. Attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from the FIDIC Contracts Committee about recent updates, gain access to regional practice advice on leading major projects and resolving disputes, and compare experiences with other contract users on common industry challenges.
The conferences featured a series of discussion tables led by FIDIC experts, allowing participants to engage in in-depth conversations on specific topics. Notable speakers included Anthony Barry, President of FIDIC; Dr. Nelson Ogunshakin OBE, Chief Executive of FIDIC; and representatives from multilateral development banks and private sector organizations. Networking opportunities were facilitated through registrant directories, enabling attendees to request and schedule meetings with fellow participants.
These conferences were particularly beneficial for professionals involved in infrastructure and construction projects, including engineers, contractors, legal advisors, and project managers. Attendees could enhance their understanding of FIDIC contracts, stay updated on industry developments, and build strong relationships with other stakeholders, thereby strengthening the network that supports FIDIC.
