Registration and Call for Papers Announced for Innovyze European User Conference 2012 Key Industry Event for European Modeling Professionals Confirmed for September 19-20, 2012.More information and registration at www.watermodeling.com Broomfield, Colorado USA, May 22, 2012 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the opening of registration and call for papers for the Innovyze European User Conference 2012. The premier event for the digital utility and smart water modeling community will be held September 19-20, 2012, at the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham, United Kingdom.This once-a-year learning opportunity for Innovyze’s European users will feature powerful technical presentations showcasing projects from throughout the region, along with keynote addresses from industry leaders and captains of the smart water modeling industry. Sponsorship packages are available and committed sponsors already include Applied Computing, Clear Environmental Consultants, EnginSoft UK, Hydro International, Onsite, Primayer, and Richard Allitt Associates.This year’s conference consists of three overlapping tracks, with Drainage and Flooding across both days of the conference, and Water Supply and Asset Management each with a dedicated day. All delegates, regardless of track, are invited to attend the conference dinner, a key networking opportunity held at the end of the first day of the event. More details on the agenda are available at www.watermodeling.com.The interactive forum will provide valuable industry insights and an opportunity to exchange cutting-edge information, thought-leadership skills, proven strategies, cost-effective solutions and best practices with water and wastewater industry movers and shakers. It will also allow water and wastewater professionals to explore new ways of using engineering-GIS technology as well as advanced analytics and smart water modeling, asset management and information management applications. Participants will learn how they can leverage these tools to do their jobs better, easier, faster and more efficiently; maximize their return on software investments; and make their organizations more globally competitive.Andrew Brown, Innovyze Director of International Operations, noted, “The conference is a fantastic opportunity for Innovyze software users from the region to gather together.
