THE Ministry of Public Works is to stage its 5th annual engineering conference at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC), Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, this Thursday. The theme of the conference is: “Defending Guyana’s development with engineering solutions.”
The one-day annual engineering conference is traditionally the premiere forum for the presentation of new ideas in the various domains of engineering, including transportation engineering (land, water and air), architectural engineering, traffic and highway engineering, coastal, river defence engineering and energy engineering, among other areas.
Meanwhile, President Donald Ramotar is scheduled to give the feature address to get the conference started.
The Ministry said that this 2015 conference will bring together a wide range of local and international experts in these fields as well as several other engineering professionals, contractors, consultants and engineering students.
The technical sessions will be highlighted by presentations on a number of ongoing local developmental projects and will provide participants with the opportunity to interact with the presenters and policy makers in these fields.
Registration for the conference will start at 08:00 hrs and the technical sessions will run from 09:30 hrs to 17:00 hrs.
