ICEC 2016 - X World CongressRio de Janeiro, 09-12 October 2016

ICEC MESSAGE

On behalf of the ICEC Executive Board, we would like to encourage you to attend the 10th ICEC World Congress being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 9-12 October 2016. The Congress will be preceded by the biennial ICEC Council Meeting on 8-9 October.

ICEC was founded in 1976 and is a not for profit organisation that promotes cooperation between national and multinational Cost Engineering, Project Controls, Quantity Surveying, and Project Management associations around the globe. It is an umbrella organisation that brings these associations together from around the world to network, share information and bodies of knowledge, raise professional standards, and provide a unified identity for the profession. ICEC’s membership currently comprises well over 40 professional associations spread throughout the world, collectively representing more than 120,000 project cost management professionals from over 100 different nations. These individual professionals are all members of ICEC member associations, providing a tremendous international network of people, Owner organizations, companies, and institutions.

The congress in Rio marks the 40 year anniversary of ICEC. This period has seen a tremendous growth in the development and recognition of the profession around the world. ICEC started out with four founding member associations, and has now grown to over 40 member associations.

The specific growth of our profession in the Americas has been quite remarkable, led in part by the Congress host, the Brazilian Institute of Cost Engineering (IBEC). Led by their President, Mr Paulo Dias, and executive board, IBEC has paved a significant course for the profession through the development of their cost engineering certification program tailored to suit not only Brazil but also the South, Central, and Latin American region with translations in both Portuguese and Spanish. Recognition of the profession has been furthered by the establishment of the annual Brazil National Cost Engineering Day by government legal statute, enabling promotion of the profession throughout the region. IBEC continue to meet and collaborate with engineering associations from throughout the region, including: Argentina, Aruba, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Venezuela and other countries.

The Congress hosts, IBEC, have been working on and marketing the event since being awarded the hosting rights in 2012 so preparations are well advanced with a perfect blend of professionalism, enthusiasm and passion. A number of high profile keynote speakers have been lined up and the event promises to be one

Paulo Dias – American ICEC DirectorDr Alexia Nalewaik – ICEC Chair

Dr Peter Smith – ICEC Secretary GeneralJosé Chacon – IBEC’s Vice President

of the best attended ICEC World Congresses on record. This will provide many opportunities for international networking during the congress and at the various congress events such as the gala dinner and other social activities. Delegates are also welcome to attend the ICEC Council Meeting being held on 8-9 October prior to the congress – this meeting is held every two years and forms the main decision making forum for the organisation. This provides further opportunity to meet and network with the ICEC Executive Officers, representatives from ICEC member associations around the world and to find out more about ICEC.

The FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014 and the XXX1 Olympic Games this year in Rio de Janeiro have been at the forefront of a number of major infrastructure projects and changes in Brazil in recent years – very exciting times for the country. The ICEC World Congress is nicely timed to occur soon after the Olympics where delegates can enjoy these newly constructed infrastructure facilities. And of course enjoy Rio de Janeiro, one of the most (if not the most) spectacular and beautiful cities in the world!

We look forward to seeing you in Rio.

On behalf of the ICEC Executive Board, we would like to encourage you to attend the 10th ICEC World Congress being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 9-12 October 2016. The Congress will be preceded by the biennial ICEC Council Meeting on 8-9 October. For years, we had been dreamed about bringing to Brazil the ICEC’s

Worldwide Congress (International Cost Engineering Council) and now we’re full of expectations. In June of 2012, during the 8th ICEC World Con-gress, in Durban (South Africa), our aim to organise the 10th edition of the event in Rio de Janeiro was approved. We have been exultant with this victory and glad about the ICEC for the confidence that has been deposited in our work during the last 35 years.

Now we are committed to make the better edition of the conference that will be the first in Latin America. As ICEC Region 1 Director (Americas), I feel myself motivated in uniting our continent and receiving the world in this great event. Over the past year, we signed a contract with the Windsor Barra Hotel that has the better events center in hotel of Rio de Janeiro.

ICEC was founded in 1976 and is a not for profit organisation that promotes cooperation between national and multinational Cost Engineering, Project Controls, Quantity Surveying, and Project Management associations around the globe.

In addition to that, Rio has been prepared to big worldwide events. The government has invested in infrastructure constructions to become Rio de Janeiro a better place to visitors and citizens. As a matter of fact, we have challenges to face about the management of public works in Brazil. However, IBEC continues his struggle in the defense of the good planning in favor of the fair price.

This one and many other international issues will be on demand during the 10th Cost Engineering and Project Management World Congress. We expect to receive thousands of professionals to exchange experiences and offer significant contribution to the future.
