Welcome to our first annual NEC People Conference in Cardiff, Wales. The NEC People Conference has evolved from our highly successful NEC People LinkedIn user group. This next event is the 7th October 2026.

The theme for this years event focus is “Working Better Together” and how the administration of NEC4 contracts can help all parties on a project.

This event is being run in conjunction with CECA Wales. Special thanks go to our lead sponsor Atkins, and to all of our other sponsors who allow this event to happen for the industry.

NEC People Conferences are intended to be for experienced users of NEC contracts to come together and network with fellow industry professionals and listen to engaging presentations in order or share and develop knowledge.
