Event organised by ICE
The Wales National Flood Conference is returning to an hybrid event!
Organised by the CIWEM in partnership with ICE Wales Cymru. This event provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about the latest developments in flood risk management in Wales and to network with professionals from across the sector.
In its 21st year, the Wales National Flood Conference will explore the twinned themes of climate change and resilience. In doing so, the conference will hear about the recent work of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales and their report Building Resilience in Flooding in Wales by 2025.
Alongside this will be keynote presentations from Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) and Natural Resources Wales (Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru) on their work in this important area.
Provisionally we expect the event to run from 10am to 3.30pm, with plenty of chances to network with like-minded professionals before and after the event.
Why attend the conference
This event is open to members and non-members of CIWEM and ICE Wales Cymru.

CIWEM and the ICE are jointly hosting a poster presentation competition at the conference. Posters should relate to any aspect of flooding, or flood risk management work. Posters relating to climate change and resilience are also welcomed.
The competition involves the creation of an engaging Poster and a five minute (or less) verbal presentation of the poster with follow up questions and discussion with the judges. Competition entrants should be working towards membership of CIWEM or ICE.
