The South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) are set to host an interesting conference at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The event will offer delegates a comprehensive look at burning issues in the project and construction management sector and will occur over three days from 26 to 28 October.
The Conference will be addressed by leaders from leading private sector institutions, public sector infrastructure development agencies, renowned built environment academics and voluntary associations.
The event will be informative for those who are interested in African politics. On 28 October, ambassadors from Kenya, Uganda and Namibia will outline developments in infrastructure development in each of their respective countries.
Nomvula Rakolote, the registrar of the council said, “The Conference has grown in popularity since its inception in 2013. In order to ensure that we have a safe South Africa, in terms of construction, we need to put checks and balances in place and to register professionals in the project and construction management space.
“This is precisely what this conference aims at achieving. Come and add your voice to the transformation and health and safety debates and add to the pool of knowledge that exists.”
The conference will be hosted under the theme, Towards growth, development and transformation in the project and construction management professions. The three-day event is a pre-eminent learning gathering aimed at creating collaborative and working partnerships for the development and maintenance of infrastructure in South Africa.
Some of the discussions will focus on opportunities for professionals and the industry as outlined in the Nine-Point Plan, unveiled by the President Jacob Zuma, in his 2015 State of the Nation Address.
Highlights will also include discussions on infrastructure investment in the private sector, both in fully-funded private sector initiatives and public-private partnerships.
