The Environment Agency with Trio Events will convene the second Flood and Coast conference and exhibition in March 2017.
The Flood & Coast Conference will take place in Telford, 28-30 March 2017. Led by the Environment Agency, the event will draw together key partners from the Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) community, including local authorities, infrastructure providers, contractors, community groups and academia.
Building on the success of the first Flood and Coast conference in 2016, the event will explore the themes of leadership and strategy, enabling growth, global perspectives and integration. Programme sessions will showcase the latest examples of partnership projects, community flood action groups and international case studies.
Clare Dinnis, Deputy Director, FCRM at the Environment Agency and Chair of Advisory Committee, said “We are trying to reach a wide audience covering the whole flood risk community. If we share ideas, we will be far better placed as a community to shape the future of flood and coastal risk management.”
