Floods ‘n’ SUDS 2
Thursday, 9th October 2008 One Great George Street Conference Centre, London
Following on from the very successful Floods ‘n’ SUDS conference hosted by Hydro International at Tewkesbury on 1st July, it has been decided to hold another similar event on Thursday 9th October 2008 in the heart of London at One Great George Street, the home of The Institution of Civil Engineers ( ICE ).
The feedback from the delegates at Tewkesbury was excellent and the line up of speakers for this new event ‘Floods ‘n’ SUDS 2’ has been pulled together taking into account the suggestions and comments received in July.
Over 160 people attended the Tewkesbury conference and heard a range of presentations outlining experiences in the aftermath of the summer floods of 2007. There was also lively debate and discussion around the studies and reports relating to flooding that were produced during 2008, as well as case study material and real examples of how flooding issues can be dealt with and sustainable drainage systems implemented in an integrated way.
The proposed publication of a draft Floods and Water Bill scheduled for consultation in Spring 2009 was also outlined by Environment Minister Phil Woolas earlier this year and Floods ‘n’ SUDS 2 hopes to continue the lively dialogue from Tewkesbury and allow delegates to feed into this consultation process.
Anyone considering attending this prestigious venue is advised to register as quickly as possible as this conference is expected to raise a great deal of interest.
This conference can be considered as contributing to CIWEM’s recognised Continuing Professional Development Scheme (CPD), as part of personal development. If required a certificate will be available at the conference to confirm your attendance.
Limited exhibition space is also available. For further details, please contact Catherine Moodie for more information.
