A very good conference, which was well balanced with awide range of speakers who had good knowledge of the industry.
I enjoyed my attendance at the conference which was well organised and had a good balance of relevant tunnelling projects and information for delegates regarding tunnelling and underground technology in the Gulf
I found the conference to be informative, valuable and enjoyable. I was pleased with the well-executed presentations delivered by the speakers. The efforts of the organising team in making this event possible are truly commendable. A pleasure to be part of the experience. Well done IQPC!
