💥 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.
• 📈 High-Impact Research: Led a 5-university consortium for the $3.5M CSIRO Flagship Cluster Fund project: Climate Adaptation Engineering for Extreme Events (CAEx).
• 📚 Published Authority: Author of 4 seminal books and hundreds of papers on structural risk assessment and security.

If you are an architect, structural engineer, urban planner, or developer, this is an unparalleled opportunity to learn how to safeguard vertical urban landscapes against extreme blast threats and unforeseen risks.
