48th Annual Conference and Exhibition - Olympic Impact
CPD certified event
Introduction
The Association of Building Engineers is pleased to announce that its 48th Annual Conference and Exhibition will take place on 11-13 November 2010 at the Hilton Hotel, Docklands, London.
With the creation of the London 2012 Olympic Park now reaching its halfway mark, this years theme - Olympic Impact - will focus on looking into the groundbreaking sustainable technologies and resources used in its construction and the impact that this will have now and in the future. As well as a two-day conference programme, the event will also include a technical visit to the Olympic Park site (kindly sponsored by the Olympic Delivery Authority) where delegates will be able to see first hand the developments taking place.
"The conference will provide insight and explaination into groundbreaking sustainable technologies including the solutions and challenges faced in the site's construction. Delegates can look forward to in-depth seminars from experts, covering various topics such as stadium design, health and safety, transportation, fire safety, building regulations and communication amongst others."
Simon Lawes, Association of Building Engineers President 2010/11

For her services to swimming Karen was awarded an MBE in the 1994 New Years Honours List. We are extremely proud to welcome Karen to this years conference as our Keynote Speaker.
"I'm excited to have been asked by ABE to speak at their Annual Conference in November. As a former Olympian and someone heavily involved with the London 2012 Games their 'Olympic Impact' theme really strikes a chord with me. The build that is currently happening at the Olympic Park Site is very exciting and I've been lucky enough to visit the site on numerous occasions and know that these will be an Olympics to remember".
