ADA Conference 2016 – Guest speakers confirmed

This year’s ADA Conference and AGM will take place on Thursday 17 November, once again at One Great George Street, Westminster, London, the home of the Institution of Civil Engineers. The Conference will bring together delegates from across the flood and water level management industry, including the Environment Agency, internal drainage boards, local authorities, Natural Resources Wales, Rivers Agency Northern Ireland and many suppliers.

We are pleased to confirm that we have an excellent line up of influential guest speakers confirmed including:

• Emma Howard-Boyd, Acting Chair of the Environment Agency

• Neil Parish MP for Tiverton and Honiton and Chair of the House of Commons Environment Food & Rural Affairs (EFRA) Select Committee, and

• Minette Batters, Vice President of the National Farmers’ Union.

We also hope to be able to confirm a speaker from Defra in the coming weeks.

This year will see an increased opportunity for questions and discussion on key topics in the form of an expanded ‘ADA Question Time’ session where audience participation will be key to its success. Question Time panel members will include representatives from ADA, the Environment Agency, and Defra.

We are keen to attract a full crowd of members to this year’s Conference. So we are pleased to announce that the delegate fee has been frozen at the 2015 rate of £112+VAT. This represents excellent value for money including the usual lunch in the surroundings of the Great Hall and of course, the opportunity to network with fellow industry friends and colleagues. Please book your place by Friday 14 October 2016.
