In our estimation: The 2003 Annual Meeting

Now is the time for you to think about joining us for The Magic of RACE International June 22-25 in Orlando, Florida, at the 2003 AACE International Annual Meeting. Orlando will provide a unique blend of professional development, networking, and exhibits in one of the world's most family-friendly destinations.

As always, our meeting will attract not only US and Canadian cost and management professionals, but also experts in the field from the entire world. Academia, industry, government, and students will be represented as well. AACE International's Annual Meeting is your opportunity to keep abreast of the new information and challenges in the expanding field of cost engineering.

More than ever, the cost and management profession has become multidisciplinary and requires that each of us integrate many areas of the profession into our work. Our meeting welcomes students and beginners in the field, construction managers, consultants, corporate executives, cost engineers, educators, estimators, litigators, professional engineers, risk analysts, and other related disciplines so that together we can learn from each other and enhance our profession. To make progress in the cost and management profession, we must listen to each other and exchange ideas. The AACE International Annual Meeting is the ideal place for this discourse!
