In roundtable discussions, Partners engage in open conversations about topics that are critical to project success, such as project delivery innovations and proven best practices. Programs provide a forum where Partners can compare experiences, present case studies, and share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of our industry.
Currently, participation in programs is reserved to COGENCE Partners. Program outcomes are shared here on the COGENCE website.
As we move forward, we anticipate holding outreach programs to create more opportunities for learning and conversation.
