News stories of the month SUSTAINABILITYLIVE! O
ne of the outstanding environmental events of the year, Sustainabilitylive!, is
returning to the NEC in Birmingham from 24th to 26th May 2011. Attracting more than 400
exhibitors, Sustainabilitylive! is made up of five premier shows across the water, energy, land, environment and sustainability sectors.
The event (which is free to visitors) provides an outstanding platform for companies and other organisations to share sustainable, cutting-edge technologies and industry innovations. Alongside the exhibition, is a three-day conference and seminar programme where key business leaders and practitioners will be able to explore current industry issues, best practise and pioneering applications.
Facing the water deficit – International Water and Effluent Exhibition (IWEX) As one of the largest accredited forums in the country for water organisations and utilities companies, IWEX already has more than 70 companies signed up for the 2011 exhibition. Visitors to IWEX will have the opportunity to speak to representatives from companies such as Schneider Electric, Technolog Ltd, Utilitec Services Ltd, WEG Electric Motors, and SEBA KMT UK.
The busy seminar programme at this year’s event will discuss key issues including the latest legislation, SUDS and flood management, FOG (fat oil and grease) solutions, waste water management and smart metering.
IWEX highlights will also include the 23rd Institute of Water National Drilling and Tapping Championship. This is traditionally a hotly contested event where the best practitioners from the water companies test their skills in drilling and tapping a high pressure water main, each hoping to be crowned champion.
And following its success last year, IWEX again presents its University Challenge which highlights the best research carried out in the water sector. Entries will be judged on innovation, technical content and commercial potential. Last year’s winners were The University of Sheffield with their research project on Data Driven Leak Detection. The presentations will be held and judged on Thursday 26th May in the Water Theatre.
