The GCETM 2014 is a highly anticipated conference due to the popularity of the fields. The GCETM is set to become an exciting event with the potential for continued growth throughout the years. The GCETM will be a forum for academics, managers and solution providers, which brings together researchers and practitioners from all over the world, promoting opportunities to share experiences, debate ideas, identify tendencies, and introduce the latest developments in the largely multidisciplinary fields of Engineering & Technology Management. This will be accomplished through the following three modes of communication: keynote presentations, parallel sessions, and poster sessions. This is especially important since these fields can largely benefit from increased collaboration.
