The conference provides an excellent opportunity for new and existing users of Flood Modeller to find out more about the software. Dr. Jon. Wicks, Technical Director for Flood Modeller, will open the event by unveiling the innovative new tools and features provided within our industry-leading flood modelling software.

The event will then allow delegates to learn more about the varied applications of Flood Modeller, and associated tools such as Flood Cloud and TUFLOW, through a series of presentations delivered by users of our software.

Attendees will be able to network with others in the industry, meet the Flood Modeller team and help direct the future development of the software.

The conference is supported by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and will contribute towards your CPD.

Delegates with a Flood Modeller support and maintenance contract, or those from an academic institution, benefit from a discounted registration fee.

Pre-conference training course

Prior to the conference, Jacobs will be delivering a one-day Advanced Flood Modeller training course in Hammersmith, London (UK).

The course is aimed at those involved in the development and review of hydraulic models and focuses primarily on model diagnostics and debugging, advanced 1D structures and Flood Modeller automation tools.

Anybody wishing to attend the Advanced Flood Modeller training course (£300+VAT), will receive a free ticket (worth up to £200+VAT) to the conference the following day.
