The conference aims to bring together around 1200 international delegates from at least 75 countries, to discuss all topical aspects of hydropower, dam engineering and pumped-storage development. Speakers will address potential and prospects, new technology, safety and risk, project finance and environmental issues. Messe Congress Graz (MCG) is a modern, state-of-the-art conference and exhibition centre in the middle of town, with spacious facilities for HYDRO 2024. It is within walking distance of most of the hotels which are being booked for delegates. A major technical exhibition will, as always, be held alongside the conference, and there will be plenty of networking opportunities for exhibitors to make contacts with international delegates from all parts of the world. The exhibition plan is on our website, so if you would like to reserve space, please visit: www.hydropower-dams.com/ hydro-2024/exhibition-plan/ as soon as possible to secure your preferred position. There will be no shortage of both technical and cultural tours, before and after the conference. Technical study tours are planned to follow HYDRO 2024, in partnership with ATCOLD and the major utilities. Details will be announced soon. The social events and accompanying persons’ programme will, as always, give an opportunity to experience local culture, cuisine, and sightseeing.
