Designed for professionals at all levels, this session will help you build confidence in understanding, selecting, and administering contracts that support project success. Whether you're working client-side, with contractors, or in consultancy, you’ll walk away with actionable insights to improve how contracts are handled from pre-construction through to project completion.
