The registration and a call for papers for the fourth annual Asia Pacific Water and Sewer Systems Modeling Conference has been opened. The event is to be held from 30th to 31st March 2011, at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Surfers Paradise on Australia's Gold Coast. It will feature keynote presentations from leaders in hydraulic and water quality modelling throughout Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.


The conference also incorporates an annual gathering of MWH Soft software users and their managers who want to sharpen their skills, expand their knowledge, and share best practices with their peers.


This once-a-year learning opportunity is sponsored by major water utilities and associations in the region. The ultimate goals are to design, operate and manage better systems; protect the environment; and safeguard public health.


The forum will allow water, wastewater and storm water professionals to explore new ways of using engineering GIS technology, advanced network modelling and simulation, and asset management applications. Participants will learn how they can leverage these tools to do their jobs better, easier, faster and more efficiently; maximise their return on software investments; and make their organisations more globally competitive. They will also earn valuable Chartered Professionals Continued Professional Development (CPD) hours.



To supplement the keynote presenters and speakers already confirmed, the organizing committee is seeking relevant and unique presentations. To have your abstract considered for oral presentation, please submit a not-to-exceed 250-word abstract with title and author information on relevant topics. Abstracts should be submitted via the following form as soon as possible and no later than 10th December 2010.
