RBMS would like to warmly invite members and non-members to our in-person seminar featuring “QLD Highlights from the 11ASM Conference” at The Alliance Hotel in Meanjin, Brisbane.

We have a great line-up of speakers from the conference, with the chance to ask questions and discuss ideas. Thank you to Geoff Veitz (Streamology), Sheyanne Frisby (Alluvium), Mick Cheetham (Water Technology), Daryl Lam (Water Technology), James Shelley (Jacobs), Eloise Wilson (UQ), Chamantha Aththapathu (Hydrobiology) and Jack Coates Marnane (Healthy Land and Water).

Jointly sponsored by Alluvium, Hydrobiology, Streamology and Water Technology, drinks and catering will be provided, guaranteed to be a great evening of networking and thought-provoking discussion on river basin management.

We also have an online option for those outside of Brisbane, welcoming Regional and Northern QLDer’s to join us!
