Peer-to-Peer Networking Session
Participants can engage in discussions, share their experiences, and present their lean construction solutions. This session will be in the form of an informal exhibition where attendees can bring posters, business cards, tablets to show videos or demos, or written materials to showcase their work.
Those interested in presenting posters must notify the organizing committee in advance and arrive at 13:00 on Thursday to set up.
The goal is to create an open environment that promotes collaboration and practical exchanges among participants, moving beyond the traditional conference structure and allowing everyone to talk and collaborate with others.
