“Safety Design in Buildings” - Conference Campaign
Highlighting fire safety strategies, the conference campaign is designed as a debate platform for industry experts. The conference targets architects, engineers, regulators and related professionals of the construction and contracting industry. Industry experts offer insights through presentations and panel discussions for ways to improve the protection of people and assets in the Gulf. The conference debates planning practices and benchmarks on a working level addressing topics like Fire Safety in Façade Design, Specifications and Material Properties, Structural Safety, HSE and more.
The conferences are planned and conducted in collaboration with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Middle East and institutions such as the Society of Façade Engineering, Abu Dhabi Department of Municipal Affairs, the Chartered Institute of Buildings (CIOB) and the Glass & Glazing Federation.

Our work
In 2009 Sesam debuted a successful series of conferences and workshops dedicated to environmentally friendly forms of building, focusing on niche topics within the sustainable architecture and Green Building scheme:
Solar Days Dubai, April
Water Days Dubai, July
Architecture & Daylight, September
Green Retrofit, December
The third module in the series, the Architecture & Daylight conference and workshops, set the focus on daylight architecture, energy efficient lighting and design technologies. The conference and workshop presented strategies demonstrating significant energy saving and health increasing potentials.
More than 200 delegates attended the conference and workshops and gained knowledge and industry insights from the high-quality presentations. The attendees benefitted also from the outstanding networking opportunity with industry peers provided by the conference and workshop and could learn hands-on about state of the art lighting products in the adjacent exposition.
The workshop guided delegates through a LEED project, focusing on the daylight and lighting related aspects. Attendees were also educated in-depth about LED technology and visited the Yas Island Formula 1 Race Track and Interchange in Abu Dhabi to understand the state of the art lighting and LED technology utilized in this prestigious project.
Testimonial
Architecture & Daylight was an excellent educational and networking platform catering to natural and artificial lighting concepts as part of the Green Building philosophy. We are glad to have supported the event as a sponsor and were pleased with the turnout and calibre of delegates as well as the quality and wide spectrum of speakers. We look forward to further initiatives from the organizers.
