New York, NY On May 20th, from 8:30–11 a.m., Professional Women in Construction (PWC) will host the Transportation Forum at the Grand Hyatt at Grand Central.
The forum is broken into two panels. The first panel will explore new trends in delivery methods, including design build, public private partnerships (P3), and CM at risk. The second panel will focus on the LaGuardia Project, with panelists from the Port Authority and Skanska Walsh, the construction manager on the project.
“Infrastructure is key to economic development in the city,” said Nicole Hunter, PWC board member, project manager at HNTB and co-chair of the event. “This forum offers unique insight into how state of the art infrastructure projects are developed, both by discussing trends in delivery methods and by looking closely at one of the city’s largest upcoming projects, the Port Authority’s new LaGuardia Central Terminal, which is a P3, as well as a design build project.”
The Delivery Methods panel will be moderated by Kate Speir, Vice President, Hochtief PPP Solutions, and the panelists will be Karen Rae, Senior Advisor for Innovative Project Delivery, Empire State Development; Robert Nichols, Senior Vice President, Skanska USA Civil; Ruth McMorrow, Executive Vice President, Parsons Corporation; and Gareth Middleton, PE, Senior Vice President, Transportation & Infrastructure, Tishman Construction Corp, an AECOM company.
There will be a presentation on The LaGuardia Project by Li Pei Wang, Program Director, Department of Aviation, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Following the presentation, Susan Walter, Vice President, Regional Business Leader, Transportation, Stantec will lead a discussion on the project.
The co-chairs of the event are Nancy Czesak, PWC vice president, first vice president, Tishman, an AECOM Company and Hunter.
Tickets are $200 for members and $250 for nonmembers and can be found here, as well as sponsorship opportunities, on the PWC website.
