Dear industry colleague,

These are exciting times for Oman’s burgeoning construction sector, anticipated to grow by nearly 5% in the next 5 years, bolstered by unprec-edented investment in national and public infrastructure.

Some reports estimate that nearly $36 billion worth of projects are currently underway or in the pipeline for Oman, with a major focus on updating the country’s infrastructure. With this exponential growth comes extraordinary opportunities for those working in the construction industry. It’s undoubtedly a historic chapter in Oman’s develop-ment and we at The Big Show are delighted to be a part of it.

Alongside the rapid growth and staggering invest-ment going into these complex mega-projects, there are undeniably challenges that need to be addressed. Many believe there needs to be a review of complex project management strategies, with an emphasis on added value, quality and environmental sustainability.

For this reason, we are delighted to be launching the Sustainable Design & ConstructionConference at The Big Show Oman, which will address all of these issues, as well as provide business-critical project updates and high-profile case studies, to give you and your team an invalu-able ‘practitioner’s toolkit’ on how to deliver green buildings and sustainable infrastructure on time and on budget.

I look forward to meeting you in March 13-14, 2017 at the New Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Regards,

Fehmi Ouaja
