Due to a clash of dates with another Italian fire safety event, IWMA today announced that it will move its 17th International Water Mist Conference from September to October 2017. The new dates now are: 25th and 26th October 2017.

The city and venue are as before: Rome, Italy, Barceló Aran Mantegna – a hotel and conference centre.

Also, the schedule remains unchanged: On 15th January 2017 the call for  papers will be released. Abstract deadline will be 15th May 2017. Speakers will then be notified by 15th June 2017 whether their abstract has been accepted. All abstracts will as always be assessed by the IWMA Scientific Council.

The conference webpage will be activated on 15th May 2017. It will be possible to register from that day onwards. IWMA General Manger Bettina McDowell explains: “IWMA will again offer reduced prices during the first few weeks. The early bird period will end on 15th July 2017.”

The programme will be published on 1st July 2017. The main focus on day one of the conference will be on applications. Day two will primarily be dedicated to research and testing.

The conference will be accompanied by an exhibition. Those interested in exhibition space may contact IWMA directly. http://iwma.net/contact/press-room/
