I congratulate the management team of EGIA that put this event together, I feel that Dawco benefited greatly from all the tips and knowledge shared by presenters in the breakout sessions and the keynote presentations, as well as the motivational aspect of it. It was also enlightening to talk to other contractors, learn and see the common challenges we face and learn methods to help us to succeed.
