As the global population passes 7 billion, the sustainable management of our rivers and water resources is crucial. The 15th International Riversymposium, 8-11 October 2012 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Victoria, Australia will look at Rivers in a Rapidly Urbanising World and explore the intricately linked pressures on rivers as our urban population grows and expands. On behalf of the Riversymposium Committee and International WaterCentre, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the world’s leading river management conference. The Riversymposium provides a platform for key issues to be explored and debated. Attended by more than 600 delegates from over 25 nations, the event presents a holistic view of river and water management, involving all sectors from science and community issues, to industry and business, policy and governance sectors.Due to a diverse and interesting program, Riversymposium attendance has grown significantly since its inception. Approximately one-third of delegates, comprised of leading scientists, researchers, scholars, community groups, government agencies and corporate leaders, are international and the other two-thirds Australian. Over 50% of those who attend are key decision makers within their organisations, representing all sectors of water and river management, environment and industry. River and waterway restoration, health and management depend on the combined engagement of institutions, community, science and business of which all are represented at the Riversymposium.Involvement as a sponsor offers long lasting benefits well beyond the close of the event.
