Conference Programme
Conference Theme
Hydro8 will be an important forum for the exchange of innovative ideas, developing technologies and emerging practices. With this in mind, the theme for the conference will be New Opportunities, and the Organising Committee has selected a wide variety of papers from respected international experts reflecting this theme.
The papers will be presented during eight of the nine themed sessions, spread across the three days of the Conference, and supported by both Workshops, Demonstrations and Visits in the ninth session and the extensive Exhibition in the adjoining halls.
We are delighted to announce that the Conference will be launched by the National Hydrographer of the United Kingdom, Rear Admiral Ian Moncrieff, who will deliver a keynote speech on the theme of New Opportunities in Hydrography.
