As practitioners, it is essential to share knowledge and experience gained on projects. In an increasingly global market, learning from the best international practice is key to success. Bridge Construction Europe promises to offer excellent pan-European networking opportunities and a wide range of topics showcasing the best of European practice.Head of Bridge Design and Technology, Atkins

Learn. Network. Engage. Do Business.As global economic conditions remain tight and budgets are finely scrutinised, to win and deliver a successful bridge construction project it’s essential to have the right experience, skills, contacts, technology, supplier partners and manpower at every step of the journey.

Building relationships with bridge owners, authorities and using the latest techniques to deliver truly cutting edge, sustainable and environmentally integrated projects presents many challenges. Project identification, timely engagement and demonstration of capabilities is a complex and time consuming process.

The Bridge Design & Construction Exchange is your opportunity to hear from, meet and engage with the largest contractors in the world and the project directors leading the most innovative bridge design and construction programmes.

Your expert speaker faculty includes:

Good value, state of the art on design and good to meet other bridges experts and suppliers.Senior Bridges Manager, Arup Netherlands

More Value for your time out of the officeThe Bridge Design and Construction Exchange offers a variety of unique learning styles and sessions, from which you can build a customised itinerary that reflects your current initiatives, priorities and future strategic objectives.

Conference Sessions

The highly crafted conference sessions reflect the strategic issues that senior executives have identified as priorities during our lengthy research process. You will choose from a selection of plenary sessions covering a myriad of issues that will create the foundation of your agenda. Session formats include: Co-presented Case Studies, Panel Discussions, Case Reviews, Roundtable Discussions and Interactive Debates.

One-to-One Business Meetings

An integral part of your agenda is the one-to-one business meetings with leading solution providers. When you register for the Bridge Design and Construction Exchange, you will be asked to identify the solutions and services you are currently considering, so we can invite leading experts to the Exchange who will fit your business needs.

Prior to the Exchange, you will be able to assess the solution providers who will be attending and select 6-8 who offer products and services that match your initiatives and priorities.

Your selections are then incorporated into your customised agenda. These private 30 minute one-to-one meetings give you the opportunity to hear from leading specialists, whose industry knowledge and experience enable them to make a valuable contribution to the requirements of your business. They offer objective, flexible and relevant strategies for success.

This unique aspect of the Bridge Design and Construction Exchange serves to simplify the process for sourcing new solutions, enabling you to discover strategies that are working for others and offering you early previews of emerging technologies.

Think Tank Discussions

Our signature Think Tank sessions encourage discussion, debate and learning in an unscripted and informal setting. You can choose to participate in these interactive roundtable style sessions on topics which are front of mind issues. You will be able to select from a range of Think Tank topics which will be incorporated into your personal itinerary. These 30 minute discussions will be moderated to ensure that the discussions stay on-course and deliver maximum benefit to you. Ask questions, share experiences, ideas and find the right answers to your immediate concerns.

Very valuable. It gives a good overview of major projects, great insight into current challenges and an opportunity to meet with potential partners.Project Director, Arcadis France
