Welcome to our 12th annual NEC People Conference which has evolved from our highly successful NEC People LinkedIn group. This year we are back at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London City. Special thanks go to our lead sponsor K&L Gates, who along with our other conference sponsors to make this event possible. Over the years, numerous people have told us that they see this LinkedIn group as a perfect demonstration of the “power of social media”. We have grown to a group of over 12,000 active users that has enabled us to create a unique network of industry professionals and establish this “must attend event of the year” for those using NEC contracts. We wanted to establish a conference event specifically for experienced people from the industry to attend and learn something from, and we trust, like others before you, that this will be your experience today. This year we are considering the “state of the industry” in terms of how well (or maybe not) projects are managing to follow the rules of the NEC contracts on their projects. Today we will consider some of the more fundamental elements of the contract and explore areas where improvements can be made to continue to evolve and deliver efficiency. We will also consider technology innovations and look at how they can be harnessed to help the delivery of future projects. ### **HIGHLIGHTS** ## Topics **Speakers:** [Andy Thompson](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/andy-thompson.md), [Barry Trebes](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/barry-trebes.md), [Chris Woodbridge](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/chris-woodbridge.md), [Dr Jon Broome](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/jon-broome.md), [Glenn Hide](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/glenn-hide.md), [Marie-Claude Hemming](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/marie-claude-hemming.md), [Matthew Smith](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/matthew-smith.md), [Neil Earnshaw](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/neil-earnshaw.md), [Nicola Ellis](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/nicola-ellis.md), [Richard Patterson](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/richard-patterson.md), [Sarah Hession](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/sarah-hession.md), [Sarah Schutte](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/sarah-schutte.md), [Simon Fraser](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/simon-fraser.md), [Yosof Ewing](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/speaker/yosof-ewing.md) **Sponsors:** [Adjudicate](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/adjudicate.md), [CECA Scotland](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/ceca.md), [Digital Beehive](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/digital-beehive.md), [Gather Insights](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/gather-insights.md), [GMH Planning - NEC Training](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/gmh-planning-nec-training.md), [K&L Gates](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/kl-gates.md), [Laminar](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/laminar.md), [Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/lighthouse-construction-industry-charity.md), [nPlan](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/nplan.md), [Oracle](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/oracle.md), [Rimkus](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/rimkus.md), [RPC UK](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/rpc-uk.md), [Thinkproject](https://gmhplanning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/taxonomy/sponsor/thinkproject.md)
