The Annual Global EPC Contract & Project Management Conference stands as one of the premier global forums for professionals across the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) industry. Designed to foster thought leadership and meaningful collaboration, the conference brought together project leaders, contract specialists, and decision-makers to exchange insights on the evolving landscape of EPC contract and project management.

Desapex participated in the conference to stay closely aligned with global best practices and emerging approaches shaping EPC project delivery today. The event provided a valuable opportunity to engage with industry peers and explore how organizations worldwide are responding to increasing project complexity, tighter schedules, cost pressures, and heightened accountability across the EPC lifecycle.

A wide range of topics were explored throughout the conference, with strong emphasis on effective schedule, budget, and resource management strategies. Discussions around EPC contract negotiation stood out in particular, highlighting the importance of clear risk allocation, proactive contract strategies, and early decision-making to reduce disputes and improve project outcomes. These sessions reinforced the growing need for structured, transparent approaches to managing contractual and delivery risks.

Another key theme was the role of innovation and technology in strengthening EPC project performance. Conversations around digital tools, integrated project controls, and data-driven decision-making demonstrated how technology is becoming central to improving visibility, predictability, and coordination across complex projects. Sustainability and environmental considerations were also increasingly positioned as integral to project design and execution, rather than as standalone requirements.

From a Desapex perspective, the conference reaffirmed the importance of combining strong contractual frameworks with digital engineering and project controls to deliver resilient and future-ready EPC projects. The insights gained will continue to shape how we support our clients—helping them manage risk more effectively, enhance collaboration, and deliver projects with greater certainty in an increasingly demanding industry environment.
