Download a flyer on the upcoming IPWEA National Conference. The Conference is being held in Canberra from 21-25 August 2011.
I thought that I would bring this to your attention as the Conference is being held in a Parliamentary Sitting Week – so accommodation can be very tight. I would therefore encourage you to register as soon as possible.
The program is very attractive with 130 technical papers across 6 parallel streams, plus 5 Plenary Sessions with Keynotes; there are two full streams and 50 papers on asset management, plus technical tours and social events.
You can obtain full details on the conference at www.ipwea.org.au/canberra2011.
