The Big Project Middle East (BPME) editorial team has confirmed that its inaugural Future of Engineering Summit (FOE Summit) will take place in Dubai on 28 May. A venue is yet to be confirmed, however the editorial team pointed out that an announcement on the location will be forthcoming post-Eid.
The BPME team said that conversations have begun with a variety of developers, consultants, contractors and government agencies, and speakers will be announced in the build up to the event. Registration is complementary but mandatory for construction professionals.
The one-day event will bring focus on several key themes including: the development and engineering of floating cities/settlements; façade- and structural-engineering, and rehabilitating concrete structures.
As part of the focus on façade- and structural-engineering, the BPME team said the agenda will delve into areas such as acoustic intrusion and extrusion; managing heat absorption and heat loss; resisting environmental influences and extreme weather; the rise of AI driven tools to enhance structural integrity; seismic resilience and load optimisation and much more.
'Key hubs across the Middle East are developing at pace and are announcing projects the push the boundaries of construction and engineering. Bringing these developments to life in line with client- and government-requirements calls for innovative thinking and cutting edge engineering practices, and we'll be shining a light on a variety of these issues with a packed agenda in late May 2025,' confirmed Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at Big Project Middle East.
The Future of Engineering Summit is being sponsored by:
Strategic Partner: ALEC Engineering & Contracting, KEO International Consultants
