Esteemed Colleagues and Distinguished Guests,
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the EFCA-GAM and Conference, which will be held at the Hilton Maslak Hotel in İstanbul, Türkiye, on 4 and 5 June 2026. Istanbul is a city that serves as a convergence of continents, cultures, and ideas.
We are honoured to have the opportunity to host representatives from European member countries, stakeholder organisations, consulting engineering firms, academic institutions, and local authorities from Turkey, who have all contributed to a truly international and multidisciplinary exchange.
The Annual GAM Meeting and the Future Leaders activities will commence on 4 June 2026, and the event will offer a stimulating environment for strategic exchange, learning, and dialogue.
The Conference is scheduled for 5 June 2026, and will focus on the subject of "Rethinking Resilience: Rebuilding Europe to withstand climate and security threats" This critical theme will be explored in depth by thought leaders and practitioners.
The conference is designed to bring together experts from various disciplines to exchange knowledge, experiences, and forward-thinking perspectives on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Europe, with a particular emphasis on Ukraine.
Additionally, the conference will address the most recent advancements and emerging trends in the consulting engineering sector.
Discussions regarding the evolving role of engineering services in Europe, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with energy, water, and transport security, will be conducted throughout the event.
Your participation in the exchange with our distinguished speakers, panellists, and fellow participants will be invaluable in fostering an open, dynamic, and inspiring environment.
B2B meetings will be organised after the conference to encourage meaningful partnerships and long-term collaboration.
We are eagerly anticipating your arrival in Istanbul and the opportunity to collaborate on these two enriching and unforgettable days.
Sincerely Yours,
A. Kerim ORHON
President
