AACE - KSA President

Ghassan H. Al-Dossary
Manager Mega-Projects for First Accelerated Program,
Aramco

Dear Colleagues,

As we embrace the Vision 2030 initiative and embark on numerous ambitious projects in
Saudi Arabia, there arises a crucial demand for more efficient and groundbreaking
project control methodologies. The urgency lies in completing projects at an
accelerated pace while upholding impeccable standards of quality and safety and
managing schedules and costs effectively.

To meet these challenges, project teams must be equipped with cutting-edge

technologies, tools, and techniques in the field of project controls, especially projects
that are more complex and demand higher level of control and monitoring. This
conference is a platform to collaborate with industry leaders to showcase the latest
applied project control methodologies and how they contribute effectively to achieving
project objectives and goals.

Project Controls professionals will share and present best practices, lessons learned, and
the deployment of technology in the field of Project Controls. Participants will have the
opportunity to network and engage with industry leaders, enabling discussions on
success stories and challenges.

We extend a warm invitation to you to join us and take advantage of this unprecedented
opportunity, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
The AACE
Saudi Arabia
Conference
With the Saudi Arabia 2030 vision, the kingdom projects portfolio is huge and
complex with many projects proceeding in parallel, working in populated areas
and demand exclusive integration amongst stakeholders. With the limited
global resources available, the use of technological and innovative
approaches is now a must to complete these projects with the highest levels of
safety, quality and within schedule and budget. Innovations in project control
are essential to manage these complexities effectively; to allow project
managers to make informed decisions timely, and based on the most recent
information; to facilitate improved collaboration and to gain a competitive
advantage by completing projects more efficiently.

Under the theme “Navigating the Future: Innovations in Project Controls”, the
Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Saudi Arabia
Conference, will provide a platform for thought leaders, influencers, industry
movers to share emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices to
enable project managers to stay at the forefront of their respective fields and
help shape the future of project control.

Join us on the April 17 - 18, 2024 in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
