It’s the Annual E&C Industry event you will not want to miss. Come join us at the annual forum to hear from prominent and Important Engineering & Construction Industry speakers address the current climate! The program at Forum XV will include the sudden emergence of ample, secure energy supplies in the U.S. as a result of shale development and enhancements of deepwater production technology.
