From Your Host
We didn't expect this!
We didn't expect a pandemic to rock the whole world! Originally we planned to host an unforgettable live experience for you with other project professionals in beautiful San Antonio/ Texas. However, this pandemic changed our entire plan. We didn't want to risk your health and safety for attending a conference. At the same time, we didn't want to lose the opportunity to add value to the Project Controls & Project Management community. We couldn't sit idle, wait, and see how long this social distancing would be in effect. So, we made a bold decision to turn the whole conference virtual! It was not an easy decision, considering all the infrastructure that we needed to figure out to turn a conference to an entirely virtual yet interactive, engaging, and tactical. It was not easy to expedite the delivery of the conference 3 months ahead of the schedule. But we did it. We believe that more than ever, our community needs tactical guidance, especially in times like this, when everyone is struggling to figure out how to deal with the situation. We couldn't find many resources out there on how to respond and recover projects from going the downward spiral. So, we invited some of the BEST speakers and industry thought leaders to give you their best advice and strategies on managing and controlling your projects during and after these uncertain times. We came together to provide you with the tools and strategies to move forward, so you not only survive but also thrive in your projects and career. We worked very hard and did our best to make the Summit one the most rewarding and fulfilling conference experiences for the attendees. Although the live Summit is over, you can still watch the recordings of the Summit and highly benefit from what the speakers and panelists shared during the conference. Let's rise up this challenge and navigate tomorrow together. We are here to serve and cannot wait to see you at the 2021 Project Controls Summit.

What persistent conditions continue to hinder progress even after any initial work suspensions have been lifted? How can owners and contractors best work together to recover delays, minimize disruptions, and reduce damages for all parties? Will contract parties be able to negotiate resolutions in most cases, or will courts and arbitrators see a significant increase due to claims related to COVID-19 for years to come?

The expert international panel will provide their viewpoints on these questions and on others from the attendees.
