Edenvale Young & TUFLOW welcomes you back to Bristol Zoo

TUFLOW 2021 UK/Europe User Conference Bristol

(21st & 22nd September 2021)

After an extended delay due to the pandemic, Edenvale Young and TUFLOW would like to welcome you back to the TUFLOW UK/Europe User Conference here in Bristol this September.

In the past ten years there have been significant advances in flood modelling but there have also been major changes in the understanding of our environment and the need for society to adapt. After a three year wait, the TUFLOW User Conference will be returning in September 2021 with a full programme of presentations and workshops on the theme of Change in a Changing World.

Our objectives for the conference since 2008 have always been to:

• Invite the best speakers from the public sector, industry and academia.
• Present novel and innovative uses of the TUFLOW software.
• Educate, inform, and help users to exploit the capability of the software.
• Listen to the needs and ideas of users to ensure that TUFLOW remains the software of choice for flood modellers in the future.

As usual we will have a mix of presentations, workshops and round table discussions involving a range of flood related topics. The final programme is available to view, all plenary and Stream 1 presentations are also available to virtual delegates. Virtual delegates will not be able to access sessions held in the Garden Suite.

Who Should Attend?

• Flood Risk professionals with experience of hydraulic modelling using 1D, 2D and 3D techniques.
• Project managers in the Environment Agency, Local Authorities and Consultants; particularly those responsible for delivering flood risk assessments, flood risk and coastal erosion strategies and surface water management plans.

FAQs

 How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

• For queries including payment options please contact: colette.linehan@edenvaleyoung.com

Will Covid restrictions apply?

• Bristol Zoo has placed a limit of 95 attendees for the conference in accordance with their Covid Policy. Fortunately we have the use of three large rooms for the conference including the garden room, Clifton Suite and Lecture Theatre which provides sufficient space to allow delegates to social distance during the conference. In addition, delegates can use the outside spaces within the Zoo to network and meet friends.
• Hopefully, the situation will improve closer to the conference but we will update you with requirements such as the use of masks as and when it becomes necessary. If you have any concerns or questions in relation to the Covid situation please contact colette.linehan@edenvaleyoung.com.
