The free-to-attend conference, “The Evolving Future of Leadership and Project Management”, will provide a unique opportunity for industry participants to discuss and share what kind of leaders will take the opportunity to forge ahead with strategic partnerships and bold investments to signal a positive 2021, whilst delivering efficient capital projects under current market conditions.

Key sessions include: the Leadership experience and development journey, empowering Women in leadership roles, and Talent management & Knowledge sharing.

"The conference agenda puts forward two key takeaways including traits required of bold leaders to steer strategically yet unconventionally and to understand how to deliver capital effective projects in current market conditions. Contributions from award-winning authors, training heads, consultants, and business leaders make this free-to-attend virtual event an absolute not-to-miss," he added.
 
Emad A. Al-Muhaisen, GDA’s virtual conference chair, said: "To unleash the potentials of young workforce, leverage talented and inspiring leadership and realise benefits by creating value, downstream companies will have to pivot quickly."
