Introduction

The construction industry serves as a primary driver for the global economy, with over 273 million jobs created worldwide in 2014 and currently contributing to 13% of the global GDP. It is anticipated that with a 14.7% engagement by 2030, many takeholders will participate into this industry, generating a substantial growth.

Hence, in order to ensure the industry's growth, numerous construction-related events are held annually worldwide. These events help stakeholders to get informed about the latest news in this area, and by establishing a communicative network, create new opportunities for themselves.

Attending such events offers an ideal platform for industry experts to get together, improve their knowledge and skills, and develop their professional relationships. Additionally, by attending these events, active organizations within this sector can connect with experts, and by their help, establish communicative networks with other organizations in order to ensure their own growth. These events are considered vital for both professionals and organizations.

Consequently, ACEMI has introduced a new brand, "International Construction Industry Events (ICIE)," aiming to organize the largest construction industry events, leading to the industry's growth and benefiting its stakeholders. This brand has aimed at advancing knowledge and establishing networks across various domains of construction management, construction laws, project planning and control, financial management, contract management, risk management, project and program management, sustainability management, quality management, safety management, information management, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Construction Business Management (CBM), soft skills and personal development, alongside engineering and technical fundamentals of the construction industry.

Relying on the expertise of local professionals, the experiences of international experts, and trust in the younger generation, the ICIE brand endeavors to host international events. ICIE also aimed to employ modern means of communication and general relations, with a high level of sensitivity toward hosting high-quality domestic and international events that elevate the stature of industry professionals, managers, engineers and all stakeholders. ICIE pledges to deliver top-notch events across all sectors for its audience, with quality and value creation as its motto.
