17 May 2012 - 18 May 2012 London By the time the Institute of Water 2012 Conference and Exhibition gets underway in May 2012, most elements of the water industry will either be changing, under review or re-structured. New government environmental and social legislation; draft price setting methodologies; changes to environmental regulatory structures; further clarity on the future of consumer representation and an increased focus on the consumer experience within water and sewerage companies will all place fresh demands on all those who work in or supply the sector. Join the Institute of Water as the key people in the sector help you to understand the implications of these changes and give their views on whether they will ensure the industry can meet the challenges of today, whilst leaving a sustainable legacy for future generations. We promise you a memorable event that will directly support your professional development, give you a unique insight into the latest issues and provide exceptional networking opportunities with people from across the sector.

21 May 2012 Burlington Arcade, 126 New Street, Birmingham B2 4JQ Our natural capital underpins our economy, health and well-being, so why is Biodiversity apparently not recognised as a valuable asset to be protected and enhanced through the planning process? How can biodiversity gains be effectively incorporated into sustainable social and economic development? The reform of the Planning System could provide an opportunity for a win-win outcome for both the natural environment and the economy.
