💥 DESIGN TO SURVIVE: Are Our Skyscrapers Ready for an Unstable World? 🏢

In an era of rapid global changes and unpredictable threats, structural safety is no longer just about standard load-bearings—it’s about survival. Building for the future demands a dramatic shift toward resilient, high-security infrastructure.

To address these critical challenges, the upcoming Colombo Forum 2026 is proud to present an exclusive keynote session on "Security by Design: Risk-Based Blast Protection of Buildings." 🛡️

🎙️ SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Meet Distinguished Professor Mark G. Stewart
We are thrilled to host one of the world's foremost international leaders in protective infrastructure and risk-based engineering to guide this vital conversation.

🧠 About the Keynote Speaker:
• 🎓 Academic Excellence: Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
• 🌐 Global Leadership: President of the International Association of Protective Structures & Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.
