Past event: 3rd European Dredging Summit

Collaborative strategies for efficient and environmentally beneficial operations in a changing climate and economy

The latest in our global series of dredging summits, the 3rd European Dredging Summit (28th Feb-1st March 2018) will once again bring together leading experts and stakeholders from across the sector for two days of engaging presentations and interactive discussions tackling the latest challenges and opportunities facing the global dredging industry.

The world's economic and physical landscapes are shifting. Changes in climate, funding and global trade are mirrored in changing client needs and contractor offerings.

Join us for a balanced programme of technical, commercial, environmental and case-study-based discussions, and to meet industry thought leaders and senior-level decision-makers in an informal environment ideal for sharing ideas and making new contacts.
