The projects that CG/LA's staff, advisors, and sponsors select are shaping the world's competitive environment. Project decision-makers present their projects to a group of 400+ global executives, in a fast-paced format that includes rapid project presentations, pre-scheduled private meetings, and targeted workshops. Participants come from three macro business segments: engineering and construction, equipment and technology, and finance. Projects offer business opportunities within the next 3 to 12 months. The Leadership Forum is focused on making projects happen, on improving project quality, and on decreasing the needed time to achieve financing. Each registrant has the opportunity to pre-schedule 15 private meetings with project presenters, sponsors and/or other attendees.
