Introduction
The 6th IET Water Event is the perfect opportunity to enhance your understanding of upcoming regulatory changes and developments in control technology for the water industry.
Topic areas at this year’s event will include development in instrumentation, communication and telemetry, as well as AMP5 and PAS55 regulatory changes. Delegates will be able to share experiences in research and product development as the seminar will provide an ideal platform to discuss technical issues with others working on similar projects.
With water prices under review for the next five year period (PR09 and SR09), PAS55 redefining asset management, and AMP5 demanding ever more efficient resource control, it is critical that water industry professionals share experiences and learn about new technologies to navigate change.
As the leading forum for control engineers in the water sector this event provides opportunities to hear from regulatory bodies, industry experts, and suppliers about new technologies and solutions. Join your peers in the Instrumentation, Control and Automation (ICA) profession to discuss upcoming water challenges that ICA is well positioned to solve.
Who should attend?
This event will be of interest to:
- Engineers and technicians designing or implementing new technologies and solutions for the changing regulatory environment
- Operational managers and staff seeking to understand the drivers and implications of industry development such as PAS55, AMP5, and PR09
- System integrators, product suppliers, consultants, and contractors who offer innovative solutions or services
Key benefits
- Learn about upcoming regulatory change and find solutions to potential challenges
- Explore the latest developments in communications and telemetry
- Network and develop ideas with industry peers
