Note: (March 27, 2018) We regret to announce that, due to the political situation in Saudi Arabia and the effect this has had on several key building/infrastructure projects, the follow-on Jeddah regional city program, on days five and six of the conference, has been canceled. In replacement, we are switching the regional city program to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which you can see more on here. We apologize if this has affected your planned activities around the 2018 Middle East Conference. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

As a component of the CTBUH 2018 Polycentric Cities Conference, those delegates that attend the Skybridges Symposium will automatically be registered for the encompassing conference and can choose which sessions to attend on the day, from the whole conference. This means that symposium delegates can engage with the conference for two, three, four, or all six days of programming, which include technical workshops, speaker and poster presentations, program rooms, panel discussions, social networking events, exhibitions, off-site programs, and even a two-day regional program in Abu Dhabi, UAE! The symposium is thus a fantastic opportunity to learn from, and engage with, the wider tall building industry.

A 50% refund will be given after 11 July – 30 August 2018. No refund will be given for cancellation after 30 August 2018 due to costs incurred by CTBUH for each delegate at that time. No refunds will be given for those who register at an incorrect rate. No refunds will be given for those who do not attend the conference. If you cannot attend the conference we are happy to accept a substitute colleague without penalty up to 27 September 2018. No substitutions are allowed after 27 September 2018.

  10. Due to venue limitations on maximum attendance and CTBUH annual conferences regularly selling out several weeks in advance, an initial limit of 30 colleagues from any one company has been set for registration in the interest of being fair to all CTBUH members who wish to attend. Any colleagues over the 30-people-per-company limit are advised to add their name to the waitlist, in case spaces become available. Notification will be given as soon as possible on this after wait-listing, and certainly no later than one month before the event itself.
