4 days that will change the way you do contracting in 2010


The recession has definitely changed the way we do business. I am positive that it has also changed the way you manage contracts. With the global economy still in recession, an increasing number of contracts are being delayed or cancelled and all of you are under pressure to manage contracts with all parties’ tensions running high and fewer resources.

IIR’s 7th Annual Contract Management Conference is the premier contract management conference in the Middle East designed to provide you with cutting edge solutions for conflict resolution crises management and practical tips to equip you to meet seemingly impossible demands in these challenging times.

Contract managers from all industries have to master a number of elements in delivering projects including legal, financial, employee, cost management, client relations dispute management and practical application of deadlines. This conference will guide you through the latest innovative thinking in contract management and ensure you are up-to-date with international standards and trends to achieve a higher Return On Investment (ROI) – accomplishing key organisational objectives in contract management.

The 7th Annual Contract Management Conference is the ideal chance for you to hear world-class best practice case studies, network with experts and take away new solutions for your organisation. The event will also provide answers to some of the key questions and issues affecting your field:

• In the wake of increasing pressure on you to reduce the cost of managing a contract,
  what strategies and techniques can you adopt to achieve this?
• Increasingly complex contracts make their management and risk analysis ever more
  challenging. What can you do to identify risks more effectively?
• Price escalations, variations, cancellations and warranty claims are all issues close to
  contract managers hearts – managing disputes that arise from them is the key to
  drawing these contracts to a successful conclusion

The event will also provide you with an opportunity to attend two innovative clinics that will help you become a leader in contract management!

Workshop A: Mastering Service Level Agreements
Workshop B: Adding Value To Construction Contracts With Effective Contract Management

CONTRACTS 2010: WHAT’S NEW?
This year’s Contracts Conference is a result of five weeks extensive research with key contracting, legal experts and publications. All topics and discussions have been requested by you and are tailor made for you. The best part of this is that our presentations are not your typical conference presentations – they are not boring. They are more like after dinner conversations at your colleague’s house. The aim is to provide tools you can immediately use when you go back in the office. We do not want to lecture you – we simply want to share experiences with you.

But if we have missed a topic or you want to hear from an expert or a company that is not currently featured in the programme please write to kosta.petrov@iirme.com and we will try to make your wish a reality.


ONE TO ONE BUSINESS MEETINGS ON SITE
This year, we want you to make the most of 48 hours. That is why we are extremely happy to introduce our new initiative on business matching. So, what is the whole buzz about? It is simple. Prior to the event all speakers and delegates will be asked to grant their name and email addresses to be available for the following business matching activities:
• Pre – Conference Do you have a great product to promote? Set up a meeting with our
  delegates or speakers at the event

  presentations. No worries. Email the speakers and discuss the presentations with them
