Conexpo Latin America 2016 announces Keynote Speaker

Internationally known futurist Derek Woodgate will preview his thought-provoking vision for the construction industry, with an exclusive focus on the Latin America region, at the 2016 Conexpo Latin America Seminars Programme.

Woodgate will be joined at the seminar by a mix of international and regional experts focused on the latest trends in infrastructure, efficient fleet management, workforce development and other key areas that directly influence the continued vitality of the Latin American construction industry.

Woodgate’s presentation is based on a comprehensive research project he conducted over the past year for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), owner and producer of Conexpo Latin America and the Conexpo-CON/AGG held in Las Vegas, USA.

Woodgate will provide a preview of future scenarios and development platforms for the construction industry, focused on the Latin America region, and demonstrate how his vision could create a significant paradigm shift in how we conceptualise roads and buildings.

Andrija Korolija of Graña y Montero and seminar planning committee chair said, “I am so excited that we are able to connect Derek Woodgate with industry professionals in the region to share knowledge and insights; he is such a dynamic and influential leader who will really engage and energize our attendees.”

Woodgate is scheduled to share the complete global results of this exclusive project at Conexpo-CON/AGG 2017 in March.

The Conexpo Latin America 2016 seminars programme will be held October 10-11 in Lima, Peru (Swissotel). Registration opens June 1. Visit www.conexpolatinamerica.com for details.
