8over8 Limited, provider of the ProCon contracts management solution for the oil and gas industry, is set to sponsor its second Marcus Evans event of the year “Advanced Project Management for the Oil, Gas and Energy Industry�. The focus of this two-day event will be on sharing best practice project management strategies to help organizations avoid the risks that major capital projects face every day.

As the world financial crisis deepens, extra effort and proven risk mitigation techniques are required by the energy industry to protect its billion dollar investments that are necessary to safeguard its long-term future. At this forum some of the industry’s leading professionals will share their project experiences with fellow experts through detailed presentations and the latest operator and contractor case studies. Delegates will discover how to weather the harsh market conditions and ensure the highest return for their capital investments.

The forum will be attended by representatives from StatoilHydro, BG Group, Petrofac, Technip, Saipem SA and many more. It will provide a platform for delegates to network with their peers, partake in the invaluable panel discussions at the close of each day, identify a variety of reasons for project failure and will conclude with a range of solutions for effective project management.

8over8 Sales Executive, Keith Langford, speaking of the upcoming event, said: “Too often organizations fail to protect themselves adequately from the variety of risks their projects face at each project phase. At this event we will demonstrate a proven system that will help delegates manage those risks, with a special focus on forecasting and mitigating the contractual risks that often have a critical impact on overall project success�.

The forum takes place in the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel, London on June 8th and 9th 2009
