Hello to all my friends at Planning Planet from Fred Plotnick...

The Construction CPM Conference was founded in 2010 to take the place left vacant by the end of the Primavera User Conference following acquisition by Oracle. But it is far more. This conference (unlike others) is intently focused upon the special needs required in construction and other time centric, (NAS) network analysis scheduling projects. This conference additionally provides a multi-vendor marketplace and one venue where practitioners and users may compare, contrast and combine various software solutions.

Located at Walt Disney World, Florida, January 21-24, 2014- Read MORE....

Season's Greetings to everyone and from all our Partners.

That's all folks. 

As ever, do send us in your feedback.
