He has presented on the world stages in many occasions on the topic of risk management, contracting strategy and project contingency simulations. His presentation included talks at PMI Forum in Calgary 2019, Palisade Conference in Nashville 2018, Canadian Institute conferences in Calgary 2014 & 2013, SPE in Denver 2011, Palisade in London 2010 and in Miami in 2007, IQPC in Abu Dhabi 2008, and AACE in Las Vegas in 2005.
