PP Expo 2008 Quotes & Feedback:

"Great event! The Planning Planet and Osirian team did really well. Haven't come across an event like it before and it will bring positive benefits to a key area within the industry." - Michael Ferrabee, Manager, Planning, MW Kellogg Ltd.

"I thought the planning Expo was really good and I am glad I attended. It takes a great deal of time and money to put such an event together so congratulations to all concerned. It was a great venue, the conference was put together really well. I will want to attend again." - Nick Hobbs, Project Manager.

"Stimulating presentations, relevant and enthusiastic audience, excellent event organisation, superb marketing opportunity - just good business. We'll be back in 2009!" - Keith Hogben, Director RPC UK Limited.

"Presenting at the Big Projects Expo allowed MWH to discuss ideas with like-minded companies and individuals in project controls on how 'flat world' techniques will profoundly effect the way our industry goes forward in the next decade. It also allowed MWH to gauge the opinion of the industry on how we all need to react to these challenges." - Paul K. Taylor, Manager of Project Controls EMEAI, MHW Global.

"Although the Expo was a first attempt by anyone to pull together a group of cost/planning engineers, consultants and users as well as potential regulatory bodies, as an acorn it shows great promise in being a solid oak with plenty of branches to spread and embrace the growth of this relatively new discipline and develop it into a coherent professional body. It provides scope and opportunity for users and providers to come together in an informal basis." - Alan McGlashan, Lead Project Controls, Delegate.
