2025 UK/Europe TUFLOW Conference: The Human Element

Edenvale Young and the team at TUFLOW, welcome you to the 2025 UK/Europe TUFLOW User Conference

The conference returns to Bristol on the 20th and 21st May 2025, bringing together leading experts and industry professionals from around the world to discuss the latest developments in flood modelling. As in previous years, the diversity of topics will be of interest to flood modellers and non modellers alike, old hands and those starting out in their career. In the rapidly changing landscape and following on from previous years topics, we lead on the theme of The Human Element.

The conference, being held at Bristol M Shed, promises to be an insightful and informative event, with a range of keynote speeches, technical sessions and panel discussions covering a broad range of topics related to the use of TUFLOW software in flood modelling.

Attendees can look forward to a diverse range of presentations and discussions, including sessions on climate change and flood risk management, advanced techniques for modelling riverine and coastal flood hazards, and the use of TUFLOW for infrastructure design and asset management.

As always the event is expected to attract a large number of delegates from a variety of industries, including engineers, consultants, academics, and government representatives, all of whom share a common interest in advancing the state of the art in flood modelling.

Overall, the TUFLOW conference promises to be a valuable and engaging event for anyone with an interest in the field of flood modelling and hydraulic engineering. With expert speakers, insightful presentations and ample opportunities for networking and discussion, this is an event not to be missed.

Bristol M Shed

M Shed stands on Princes Wharf, an area where shipbuilding was taking place from the early 18th century onwards. In1804 the site witnessed the birth of Bristol's Iconic Floating Harbour, completed in 1809 the harbour transformed the area. Part of this massive engineering feat involved the creation of a manmade river to the south of M Shed know locally as The Cut. The Bristol Channel boasts the second highest tidal range in the world which impacts the tidal reach of the River Avon, without the creation of The Cut, completion of the Floating Harbour would have led to the city being flooded twice a day.
