BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION
	Why participate? The aim of the Conference is to assess the worsening state of the European economy and its negative impact on the construction industry over the recent past. The breakdown of the global economy is so significant and has such large implications that the reasons for it, and its negative results, require deep analysis and evaluation. Stagnation and even recession in European construction is now fact; thus the answers to the following questions are of great importance: How deep is the decline in European construction as a whole and in the particular countries likely to be? Are there, perhaps, countries that will escape the recession in construction? Which construction sectors (residential, non-residential or civil engineering) are the most sensitive to the crisis? Has the construction industry already seen its biggest fall in production, or is there worse to come? What is the situation in particular countries in the Euroconstruct network and in individual construction sectors? What economic factors need to come into play to stop the decline and when are they likely to be seen? Which players in the construction market will be worst affected by the crisis and when? What measures are being taken by governments and other authorities to limit the construction market crisis in particular countries? What is the role of EU cohesion funds in the limitation of the negative effects of the economic crisis on construction in Central-Eastern EU countries? To what extent has the financial turmoil affected the economies and construction markets of non-EU countries such as Russia and the Ukraine? Over two hundred decision makers and experts representing more than 20 countries from Western and Eastern Europe and overseas are expected in Dublin on June 24-25, 2010. The Dublin EUROCONSTRUCT conference targets decision makers in the construction industry and related markets as well as the financial and consulting sector and it offers a wide range of advantages. A leading international event The Conference is part of the biannual series of presentations on the latest medium-term outlook for construction in Europe: exclusive to Euroconstruct, traditionally followed by a hundred or so international participants and a large delegation from the organising country. Following the adoption of the “European Climate Energy Package”, the Conference will also look, from a long-term point of view, at the consequences for construction of the fight against global warming. Answers a series of key questions When will we see the recovery of the European economy, which still appears to be sinking deeper? And meanwhile, what changes are taking place in construction, which is also very dependent on local factors? Will the developments in the different sub-sectors offset each other or is there a risk of them reinforcing each other? Aimed at a wide audience At all those involved in construction: producers of materials, plant and equipment for construction, designers – architects, engineers, investors, etc. – contractors, financiers, etc. At observers, mainly from the economic world (financial analysts, macro-economists, consultants, etc.), who are interested in construction trends, as a market or sector.
