Aim

The way we manage water and the environment are fundamental to our long term future, both in the UK and internationally. The urgency of climate change and the challenges of water, food and energy security, set against a climate of financial limitation, call for more integrated and ‘green’ solutions.

The aim of the conference is to challenge and inspire the water and environmental community by sharing knowledge and best practice, which is at the heart of meeting key global challenges.

In April 2010 CIWEM will hold a two-day Annual Conference that will address multidisciplinary issues across all areas of the global water and environment sector. There will be a mix of keynote speakers, offered papers, exhibitions and networking opportunities that will make this the key event for water and environment professionals.

This conference is organised on an academic model, where there is a call for presentations and speakers will be selected on that basis by the conference programme committee. All the speakers will pay the conference fee and this will be broadly in line with current CIWEM one day events.

We aim to provide the optimal public benefit by making outputs from the conference freely available on the CIWEM website after the event.

Previous sponsors have found the event valuable:

'The staff were helpful, the numbers attending and interest our stall generated also positive. I felt it was a useful conference for us to be involved, certainly as a sponsor.'

'We appreciated a very good stand position and the inclusion of the company logo on delegate notes, slides etc.'
