According to Edmund O'Sullivan, editorial director of the conference organiser, MEED, with high-rise culture pushing the limits of innovation within the Middle East and internationally, this forum is 'not before time'.
He said that MEED's Building Tall conference is an opportunity to address the issues around what makes a safe, effective yet iconic structure, and how to turn it into a successful business enterprise.
Architect, Hazel Wong, responsible for the pioneering, landmark duo-structure, Emirates Towers (located on Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road), is slated to give a no-holds-barred presentation.
The line-up of both regional and international delegates spans across 23 countries including China, Russia, India and USA.
