In addition to this presentation, Mohamed Amer and key industry personnel will explore the challenges and opportunities of Offsite Construction in an inclusive ‘Navigating the Future’ session. Further insights and education will be offered to attendees at an engaging ICC exhibition booth. Showcasing solutions and initiatives through roll-ups and sell sheets, this informative display will illustrate why ICC is a global leader in developing building codes and a trusted provider of safety solutions with a commitment to driving the industry forward.
Mohamed Amer, Regional Director of Operations - MENA at ICC, stated, "We are excited to co-host this exceptional conference.
