The Winter Symposium starts in 11 days and the excitement is building - as of today there are only 10 unreserved places left for this international event.  From Japan to Ecuador, Kazahkstan to Lesoto, Pakistan to Romania, and  London to Bahrain there will be over 25 speakers covering the current situation in ADR and Dispute Boards along with current issues, problems and their solutions.  If you have not yet registered we encourage you to do so - please go to our link: 
 
Those attending will benefit  not just from the networking opportunities but also from the sessions which include roundtable discussions, lectures and participation in the daily events.  Leaders in the ADR fields will present along with those from the IFC/World Bank Group, ACE Insurance, the EBRD, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, FIDIC, and others.

DBF "Total Immersion Programmes" Expand
 Three Gorges Dam
The response to the announcement that our 2010 Total Immersion Programme on FIDIC Contracts was  taking applicants was overwhelming. In addition, due to the many requests for other similar programmes, the DBF has expanded the range of programmes that will be offered as separate Total Immersion Programmes. These include Procurement, Claims Management, and Presentation & Advocacy.

These programmes are not for everyone and are geared to the busy upper level construction executive who wants the maximum amount of information in the minimum amount of time and is willing to take on an in-depth and difficult programme.

These truly intensive 6-day programmes vary in size from 6 to a maximum of 9 people with 3-4 trainers per day and are for the busy executive who wants to maximise their learning experience in a relaxed environment.  The programme includes all instruction, materials, room, board, and transportation from the nearest international airport closest to the programmes hotel venue.  Each participant will receive one-on-one training and will live and eat with the instructors for the entire programme. 

Each of our instructors is an expert in their field and provide lively in-depth analysis of the subject matter and make the experience a truly enjoyable one. In February 2010 we will be offering our FIDIC Contracts Total Immersion Programme. The culmination of this programme is that each individual attending will have intimate knowledge of the entire range of FIDIC Contracts, how they operate individually and collectively and how to use each to best advantage.

If you think you qualify to be in any of these programmes please send an email telling us the reason why you want to take a particular programme and your CV to Jonathan Varoqui at j.varoqui@dbfederation.org

The reason we ask for your reasons and a CV is so that we can place  suitably qualified individuals in these small intensive groups and maximise the return to all attending.  If you qualify for the programme you will be notified and futher details arranged.
