| Annual Construction Risk Management Conference |
Following the success of the Construction Risk Management Conference 2009, Milla SA aimed to host an even more
rewarding event which took take place on, August 3-4, 2010 in Cape Town. The conference brought together leading
Construction experts, vendors, industry experts, scientists, distinguished academics and scholars to a forum
that discussed recent advances in managing risk. This was a unique opportunity to explore various relevant
fields of innovations relating to industry, academia, government, enterprise and other market segments from
around the subcontinent and the world at large were addressed. The high profile delegates had an opportunity
to meet some of the most revered speakers from leading organizations and to listen to case studies conducted
by experts and practitioners in this field.
The Annual Construction Risk Management Conference provided relevant updated trends and information to suit
the needs of many construction practitioners who attended from across Africa. As most organizations have accepted
that managing risk is a critical element of the project, continual investment in this subject is inevitable.
Investigating, assessing and managing risk has become a major hot topic in the engineering industry. The industry
needs practical solutions for challenges such as: retaining top notch expertise and talent within the construction
project team, quantifying and planning risk in the construction project life cycle, estimating construction costs and
project schedules, cost effective solutions for construction projects and risk management, and maximization of construction
growth opportunities
