    The realization of the 21st Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction IGLC 2013 has three main goals:

    • Disclose the latest developments, from national and foreign universities, regarding the use of lean construction;
    • Strengthen management development in foreign and national construction companies, broadening the exchange of information and ideas between academia and private enterprise;
    • Discuss topics relevant to lean construction, addressing issues related to teaching, research and extension.

  • Dear conference attendees,

    The organizing committee of the 21st International Summit of the International Group for Lean Construction highlights how translation is occurring during the different moments of the event:

    · In Gemba Day, there will be a group division according to the participant’s language (Portuguese and English). When necessary, there will be sequential translation

    · In Industry Day, presentations will be in Portuguese or in English, with simultaneous translation (Portuguese – English – Portuguese)

    · In the Conference, presentations will only be in the English language, with simultaneous translation (English – Portuguese)

    · In the Summer School, there will be presentations in English with no simultaneous translation.

    We hope you enjoy this lean journey!
