Winter Confest 2023

 A Winter Confest 2023 was organised by Construction Philosophy Magazine at IMA hall, Kaloor on 2nd December 2023. Matter lab in association with Renacon AAC block sponsored the program.

The event aimed to bring together professionals of the construction industry, bureaucrats and the education community to disseminate knowledge and the latest in the realm of civil engineering. 

The session was inaugurated by Kochi Mayor Mr M Anilkumar. There were two technical talks viz. by Mr. Tony Jacob about Lean construction practices and Mr. P Eswaramoorthy on Safety in Construction. This was followed by a panel discussion of eminent professionals which included MD of Kochi Metro Mr. Loknath Behera and other prominent leaders. 

A team of 4 students and 3 staff attended this all day event viz. Dr. Jiji Antony, Dr. Kavitha PE, Ms. Niveditha Suresh S7 CE, Ms. Sandra Jaison, Ms. Theresa Grace Prasad and Ms. Lilia Rose Jojo of S5 CEB. There was a scrumptious lunch offered to the participants during the break. 

Interestingly, we ran into our alum Ms. Adhila Babu who is a working professional now. It’s always a pleasure running into former students. 

Overall, the event was an inspiring experience and gave a glimpse into the future of the city and a preview into evolving technology.
