We are well into the Society’s calendar for the year and are thrilled to present the latest edition of our newsletter. Do take some time to peruse the articles and updates as well as some news about our upcoming events.

Some highlights of our calendar since our last newsletter include our regular round of Networking Cocktails (28 February 2024) which (consistent with previous occasions) was very well attended. It is great to see members and friends of the Society come together to forge bonds of friendship over light food and drink. We also ran the 14th edition of our ever popular "Construction Law 101" course (held at the end of March) which is aimed at equipping attendees with foundational principles in construction law.

Our calendar continues to be packed with various seminars and events.

As we look forward towards the second half of the year, I would like to particularly mention our upcoming Annual Conference. A highlight of the Society’s calendar, this year’s Conference will be held on 2 October 2024 and is titled “Singapore Inc - Staying Best in Class in Construction?”.

As may be alluded to in the title, the Conference will focus on the construction industry in Singapore and explore a range of topics ranging from examining opportunities and challenges in the energy transition, managing disruption and uncertainty in the construction industry and navigating the management of delay experts in proceedings. Some light hearted moments will also be expected with a debate on the role of artificial intelligence in construction projects. Judicial Commissioner Alex Wong has kindly agreed to grace the occasion as our Guest of Honour.

So do mark your calendars for what promises to be a lively and meaningful congregation of construction industry stakeholders. We look forward to seeing you there!
