Dick Farris, CTO and co-founder of Primavera Inc.; Saleh El Shobokshi, Project Controls Manager of Al Naboodah Laing O'Rourke; and Bob Harrell, President of Track Software; will be the keynote speakers at the event. The event will focus on emerging industry and technology trends, enterprise value and how to maximize return on investment, and will examine real-world case studies that illustrate how best practices in project management can improve performance.
