CCi, a Rimkus company, is a proud sponsor at the NEC People Conference 2024, ‘State of the Industry.’
This conference covers topics that are vital to those working in construction, engineering, and project management in 2024. Bringing together a diverse range of expert panellists and attendees from across the industry, the conference will begin by focusing on practical guidelines for early warnings in the NEC, offering delegates the opportunity to understand how clauses operate in practice for the benefit of their projects. The conference will also feature sessions focusing on NEC contract health, the implications that artificial intelligence might have for the industry, and an afternoon ‘Who Wants to Be an NEC Millionaire’ charity quiz session. The event will close with a Question Time panel of experts, allowing delegates to delve deeper into any of the presentation topics or other areas surrounding NEC contracts.
We look forward to participating in the conversations that emerge out of this conference, contributing towards the evolution and improvement of the industry into the future.
