Participants

Strong emphasis is placed on maintaining the optimum infrastructure for both the education and business development platforms at our forums. Therefore participants at the Research Facilities Forum are accepted based on strict qualification criteria, ensuring relevancy and suitability. This results in a delegation consisting of senior administrators responsible for directing the facilities strategies of their respective institutions.

 

These delegates are able to maximize their time away from the office by personally selecting the conference sessions, think-tanks, panel discussions and business strategy meetings that are relevant to the concerns and challenges that they currently face. This is a unique format where administrators have access to current information, benchmark their initiatives and find solutions to pressing projects and issues all while networking with colleagues and peers at their level.
