Call for Papers for Wallingford Software's 8th International User Conference, 11th - 13th September 2007
The water industry's foremost learning environment for hydraulic modeling and asset management professionals
Wallingford Software, the global leader in the development of data management and network modeling software for the water industry, has announced that its 2007 International User Conference will take place from 11th-13th September at Howbery Park, Wallingford in the UK. The annual event attracts water engineers from across the globe keen to share expertise, network and learn the very latest developments in modeling and network data management from Wallingford Software's team of internationally renowned engineers.
Announcing an invitation to users to submit papers for the conference, Paul Banfield, Wallingford Software's Sales and Marketing Director, emphasised the international breadth of the event:
"Each year the number of delegates from overseas and the number of countries they represent increases. This reflects our continuing growth globally both in established markets such as the United States, Asia and Australia, and in new and emerging markets such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Our International User Conference is now one of the premier events within the hydraulic modeling community and we know it is much anticipated by engineers both from the utility and consultancy sectors.
"This year the event is expected to prove particularly popular as we will have major new product launches planned for later in the year."
The packed three-day programme of user case studies and technical presentations will follow a similar structure as last year. The first and second days will be divided into three core streams covering the main water disciplines of collection systems (InfoWorks CS), water supply (InfoWorks WS), river systems and coastal engineering (InfoWorks RS) and flood management and forecasting (FloodWorks). The third day is dedicated to network data management and Wallingford Software's InfoNet solution. Papers are expected from Europe, North and Central America, Asia and Australasia. Individuals interested in contributing a paper must submit their proposals no later than Friday 20th July.
The 8th International Conference will be held at Wallingford Software's UK headquarters at Howbery Park in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. This prestigious site alongside the River Thames is the historic centre of hydrological research in the UK. In addition to Wallingford Software, Howbery Park is also home to HR Wallingford, the UK government's Environment Agency and the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology.
