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.” – Chris Hendy, Head of Bridge Design, ATKINS

Dear Bridge Engineer,

With the economy in an uncertain state, NEVER has it been more crucial to build upon the skills, knowledge and experience you possess in bridge construction and delivery. This will determine whether you win that tender, gain project approval and deliver the project on time and on budget in 2011 and beyond.

Bridge Construction Europe 2010 will equip you with these essential skills throughout the whole bridge project life-cycle. Whether it is in project preparation, planning, design, construction or maintenance of modern bridge systems that you specialise, Bridge Construction Europe will advance your understanding and most importantly, keep you informed and in touch with your fellow peers, clients and customers.

With over 23 of Europe’s most celebrated projects to date, including a unique showcase of the eagerly anticipated Forth Replacement Crossing straight from the new Project Director, each detailed presentation will provide you with practical guidance that you can apply to your projects at home.

It‘s crucial that you learn the lessons, whether successes or mistakes, that your fellow industry peers have learnt. Bridge Construction Europe provides you with this opportunity through a comprehensive technical programme. Devised in consultation with 76 Engineers from across Europe, the agenda includes 30 of Europe’s leading Project Managers from Government, Contractor & Specialist Consultant Organisations.

In concert with the technical merits of the conference, you will also have the opportunity to share strategies, ideas and methods of practice with some of the foremost project managers and most active procuring authorities from the Central and Eastern European Region. This is a truly Pan-European event and one that you can not afford to miss.

I look forward to seeing you in November.

Many thanks and kind regards, P.S. Remember to sign up for the ‘Pan-European Project Pipeline’ special evening seminar in order to Tom Upchurch maximise your time with major Conference Director government authorities and learn Construction IQ about new projects on the horizon.
