Water Monitoring Conference Details Announced

WWEM 2006 will focus on the regulations, procedures and technologies involved with compliance monitoring of aqueous discharges to the environment.

The keynote speech will be given by Chris Howes, the Environment agency's head of modern regulation and a range of expert speakers will give presentations on complimentary issues relating to water monitoring. However, WWEM will appeal to more than just those responsible for regulated processes; the event has become the UK's focal point for all matters relating to the monitoring and testing of water quality, level and flow relevant to water companies, food & beverage, laboratories and all oil & gas related industries.

WWEM 2006 will take place at the Telford International Centre on the 1st -2nd November 2006. It is jointly organised by SWIG (Sensors for Water Interest Group) and Environmental Technology Publications, with support from the Agency. WWEM comprises of a major Conference, Workshops, Exhibition and a Gala MCERTS Presentation Dinner.

Looking forward to WWEM 2006, John Tipping, who manages MCERTS for the Environment Agency, said "I congratulate those organisations tat already have MCERTS certificates and I am delighted that a large number of companies have applications underway. WWEM looks set to become a major event in the water calendar."

Following the success of the inaugural WWEM in 2005, organiser Marcus Pattison has announced that a much larger venue has been chosen for 2006. "Entry to the workshops and exhibition will be free and conference delegates will be charged at £50/day. Lunch and refreshments will also be free of charge. In 2005, we were unable to accommodate all of the exhibitors requesting space (there was a waiting list of 46) and the show was sold out six months in advance, however, Telford offers a higher number of positions and 3m x 3m stands are available on a first come, first served basis. If you visit www.wwem.uk.com you will see that most of the stands are already sold, so I would urge everyone to act without delay."
