WWEM 2012 smashes attendance records
Feb 04 2013
The organisers of WWEM 2012, the Water Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring event, have announced that visitor numbers were up by 22% in comparison with 2010. On behalf of the organisers, Marcus Pattison expressed his delight with this success, adding: “We are extremely pleased with the number of people that took advantage of everything that WWEM 2012 had to offer and it is very satisfying to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from both visitors and exhibitors.”
WWEM 2012 attendees were provided with a wide choice of activities including a Process Monitoring Conference and a Laboratory Analysis Conference (both CPD approved), a ‘Meet the (international) Buyer’ event, a meeting on water sector innovation, over 80 Workshops, free training courses on gas detection and safety, and an exhibition featuring over 130 stands representing more than 250 of the world’s leading providers of test and monitoring equipment and related services. As a result of the wealth of information available, many visitors found it necessary to attend both days of the event.
The organisers were particularly pleased to see the volume of visitors from laboratories. “Most labs are under a great deal of time and financial pressure, so it is often difficult for key staff to be able to visit external events,” said Marcus Pattison, adding “There were a number of new analytical technologies on show at WWEM 2012, combined with presentations on analytical methods, non-conforming samples and data management, so this was key to making sure that time spent away from the laboratory was well spent.”
The next WWEM event will take place on the 5th and 6th November 2014 and over one third of the 2014 exhibition stands were re-booked at the 2012 event, so the organisers have warned that the best positions are going fast.
