Event description 

How do we design urban drainage to be resilient and manage the risk of exceedance?

This year’s CIWEM UDG training day will be held over two days, 16-17 March. The topic we will be covering is exceedance: as engineers, environmentalists, planners and policy makers, how do we design and adapt our assets to cope with extremes in weather?

This challenge is one that needs to tackled in collaboration, with risk management authorities working with other organisations and stakeholders. It potentially involves those directly impacted, so that they can help to protect themselves.

Our packed programme will include CPD-accredited interactive sessions, technical paper presentations, panel discussions, practical sessions and speed networking.

Spaces are limited and are available on a first come, first serve basis. Registration will close at midnight on 10th March.

The cost to attend both days is £60, sponsorship packages are available at £900 (including local taxes, where applicable).
