‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased to welcome you here in Warsaw. It is a great honour to host such a large group of top VINCI CONSTRUCTION managers in our country. Some of you - for the first time, others - again. Many of you have had an opportunity to participate in the VINCI CONSTRUCTION INTERNATIONAL NETWORK convention which took place in Warsaw in June last year,’ with  these words Mr. Jerzy Werle, Warbud’s Chairman and CEO welcomed the participants of a three-day meeting that took place at the Sofitel Victoria hotel in Warsaw.

This year's convention taking place from 27 to 29 March was twice as large as the previous one organized in Poland. It was attended by nearly 250 chairmen and top managers of companies owned by VINCI CONSTRUCTION. The topics covered a summary of activities presented by Jerome Stubler, CEO of VINCI CONSTRUCTION.

As Warbud was the host and co-organizer of the convention, we could not do without visits to our company's most prestigious construction sites. On the second day of the convention the participants had an opportunity to listen to the speeches of our directors and contract managers: Karol Puszerkiewicz, Grzegorz Strzelczyk, Dariusz Gołębiewski and Artur Raczak. On the next day they visited the construction sites of: the Southern Ring Road of Warsaw and three high-rise buildings - Skyliner, Mennica Legacy Tower and Varso Tower. During the visits our managers presented their projects in terms of applied technologies, work schedules and engineering challenges.

In the hotel foyer as part of the innovative zone, the guests could familiarize themselves with technological novelties and examples of applications and innovations used on VINCI construction sites.

Convention participants also had a unique opportunity to learn about the history of pre-war Warsaw, the tragic fate of the city and its inhabitants during the war and the post-war reconstruction and metamorphosis of the capital. The guide to these events was Mr. Jerzy S. Majewski, an excellent varsavianist, art and architecture historian, journalist and author of the blog MiastaRytm.pl.
