As the president of FIDIC, I am delighted to invite you to the FIDIC Asia Pacific annual
conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from 15-17 November 2026.
This conference, hosted by the Association of Consulting Engineers Sri Lanka (ACEP)
alongside FIDIC Asia Pacific, reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the
global infrastructure community through collaboration and innovation, especially in
the fast-moving area of technology and digitalisation.
The conference theme, AI Revolution in Engineering and Project Implementation, is
an interesting and inspiring one and offers an important platform for industry
leaders, innovators and future thinkers to explore how artificial intelligence is
reshaping the world of engineering, infrastructure and project delivery across the
Asia Pacific region and indeed, the whole world.
As always, this conference also provides a key opportunity to share international
best practices through the many technical sessions and panel discussions. But this is
more than just a conference – it’s an opportunity to exchange ideas, build
professional networks and inspire innovation across the engineering and
consultancy sectors across the region.
I strongly encourage all industry professionals across the Asia Pacific and beyond to
attend.
Together, let’s advance our mission of engineering a better world!
Alfredo Ingletti
President, International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC)
