Overview

The event programme is still being developed and the final list of speakers confirmed but we’re keen to hear your ideas for content. If you would also like to express an interest in speaking at the event, please get in touch.

Call for speakers

We want to hear how innovations and advances in professional practice are creating better outcomes for people, communities and properties affected by flooding, as well as sharing experiences and best practice from those working to manage flood risk in Wales.

For this year’s conference, we would be particularly keen to hear about:

  • Developments in policy and national guidance
  • Surface water flood risk and the implementation of SUDs
  • Rural resilience and land management
  • Investment in flood infrastructure and prevention
  • Catchment based approaches
  • The climate and nature emergency
  • Application Process

Provide an abstract of 200-400 words and a copy of your CV.

Deadline: 07 August 2026.

Applications will be shortlisted by the ICE/CIWEM Flooding in Wales Committee, who will aim to build an engaging and varied programme for our audience. If selected, you will be asked to provide further details, including a biography and high-res headshot.

Please send you abstract and CV to [email protected]
