On a personal note, this was one of the best managed conferences I have ever attended.

Mark LangleyPresident and Chief Executive OfficerProject Management Institute (PMI)

[We] were very impressed with the content and the excellent line up of speakers and enjoyed the time networking with all the high level dignitaries. Alaa and Ricardo as well as other PMI involved speakers also had only positive things to say and have gone back very impressed with the event.

Thanks on behalf of PMI for having us as partners at this event and we look forward to many more such collaborative events.

I have been very impressed with the conference so far – the planning and execution is as good as I have ever seen – and this clearly demonstrates the key attributes of successful projects – setting the vision and strategy, conceptualising and defining the scope, planning including critical administrative support, and disciplined execution.

I appreciated the balance between keynote speakers, panel discussions and parallel sessions My only disappointment is that I wished I could attend more of sessions, but unfortunately many were scheduled at the same time!

Dr. Alaa AshmawyDean and Professor of Civil Engineering

American University in Dubai

I was greatly impressed by the high level of attendance, the interest shown by the delegates, and the careful preparation by the organizers.

The level and quality of the speakers is admirable.

Certainly worth a follow up (maybe in 2 years).Broad base of expertise and wonderful location.

Eithne TreanorManaging DirectorE.Treanor Media

It was a real honour to be involved with DIPMF – the absolute finest example of efficient & effective project management!

My panel of DEWA, FEWA, Masdar & RWE added great insight on the topic of energy and sustainability – thank you all. It was a delight to meet many of the other speakers and have the time to listen to the knowledge exchange facilitated by DIPMF.

Well done to the strength of the organising team and the RTA drivers of growth and efficiency.Good luck with future events – you’ll always have my support.
