WHO: This series covers topics of interest for the media, engineers, surveyors, heavy construction and government professionals and provides eight professional development hour credits daily.
The series host, KnowledgeWell [www.KnowledgeWell.org], a public US 501c3 tax exempt not-for-profit organization, was founded in 2005 by a group of MBA graduates inspired to share their business capabilities with the world and to deliver expertise to emerging and under-resourced areas. KnowledgeWell relies on a strong team of companies and individuals who are motivated to transform the barriers faced by under-resourced nations into opportunities for successful business enterprise. Often described as a “Doctors without Borders” concept for business professionals, its goals are to enable nations to become more self-sufficient, increase their visibility in the global marketplace and create awareness of sustainable, environmentally friendly business practices.
