After a year of record floods, now is the time to share experiences and learn from others at the Floodplain Management Australia (FMA) National Conference in Sydney from 23-26 May 2023.
The theme of the Conference is “Preparing for the unprecedented flood”, which will focus on applying lessons from recent floods and new research to better manage the increasing costs of extreme weather events.
The FMA National Conference has been held annually for over 50 years and is the most respected flood risk management event held in Australia. It will bring together over 350 flood professionals and community members with interests in flood risk management. Attendees will include Commonwealth, State and Local Government representatives, research organisations and education providers as well as consultants, engineers, land- use planners, emergency responders and community volunteer organisations.
During the week attendees will hear motivational and innovative presentations from outstanding keynote speakers and industry professionals, take part in interactive workshops and networking events, and participate in informative field trips addressing floodplain risk management issues and inspiring achievements.
A Local Government Councillors’ session will also be convened, and optional Pre-Conference workshops on topical issues will be held on the Tuesday.
