FMA Annual Conference Update

There are only six weeks to go until our 56th Annual Conference in Nowra. Early Registration Discounts closed this week, and we hope as many of you took advantage of these great savings as possible.

We have three exceptional keynote speakers, and an outstanding dinner speaker confirmed for our four-day event, including Brigadier Darren Naumann AM.

During a long career with the Australian Army, Darren has held a range of leadership, military engineering and infrastructure management appointments, including six years on exchange with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the UK Ministry of Defence.

In the immediate aftermath of the devastating April 2015 Hunter Valley and Central Coast super storm, the Premier of NSW appointed Darren as the Regional Recovery Coordinator to lead community recovery efforts.

First time attendees, or those new to Floodplain Risk Management, are encouraged to attend the Pre-Conference Workshop ‘Floodplain Risk Management 101’, which sums up the basics of FRM, and what those terms mean quickly before Conference starts.

Details of all of the available Pre-Conference Workshops are available at floodplainconference.com/program.php.

This Conference is shaping up to be our most exciting event so far, and should not be missed. Make sure you register online now at floodplainconference.com/registration.php.
