DELIVERING GREATER VALUE, TOGETHER!
ACE members are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and Conference 2022 of ACE Cymru|Wales.
Hosted jointly by ACE in Wales with our partners at CECA Wales and the County Surveyors Society (CSS) Cymru, the event will also welcome a range of speakers from across the wider industry.
The in-person two day conference held in Cardiff comes after a challenging 24 months where COVID-19, the outcome of Brexit, and now conflict in Ukraine have created an environment of ongoing uncertainty, manifesting themselves through inflationary pressures, challenges in project risks, skills shortages and an increasing focus on health and wellbeing.
Meanwhile, ambitions around Net Zero have brought their own challenges in terms of client demands and procurement.
This year’s conference will consider how, as a sector and supply chain working collaboratively, we can drive far greater value for the client through what is delivered. The full compelling programme of speakers and sessions is below.
As with previous conferences, the thoughts, observations and concerns of delegates will be drawn out in interactive breakout sessions and this will be captured in a post-conference report, along with an action plan outlining how we can, collectively add value across our sector.
This event is free to anyone working for an ACE member and vital for those working in Wales. Book your place today.
