🌟 Conflict Avoidance Conference – A Resounding Success! The Conflict Avoidance Conference in London has come to a close, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. It was a truly exceptional day. The event brought together professionals from across the construction and engineering sectors, creating a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas and best practices. The level of engagement from our attendees was exceptional, particularly during the Q&A session. The speakers shared invaluable insights on changing industry culture, persuading parties to adopt conflict avoidance measures, and practical takeaways attendees could apply in their daily roles. We extend our sincere thanks to our distinguished speakers (below) and to such an engaged, enthusiastic audience for their participation, making this such a huge success. Together, we are advancing the industry toward a more collaborative future.
