On 28th January, we kickstarted the year by heading up to Edinburgh for Verture’s (formerly Sniffer) national Flood Resilience conference, the premier event in the Scottish flooding community calendar. The two-day conference attracted nearly 600 delegates, with this year’s theme being ‘Taking Actions to Implement the Flood Resilience Strategy’.
Showcasing Jacobs' Flood Products
Alastair Sheppard, Marketing and Sales Director for Flood Products at Jacobs, represented Flood Modeller and Flood Platform at the event. He was well-prepared with plenty of freebies and took the opportunity to network and engage in meaningful discussions with visitors and fellow exhibitors.
This year’s conference aimed to build on Scotland’s first National Flood Resilience Strategy, published by the Scottish Government in December 2024.
“We always enjoy attending fantastic events like this, where impactful topics are discussed, and we feel our products can make a positive difference. It was a great opportunity to highlight how Flood Modeller drives the hydraulic analysis for Scotland’s national flood forecasting system. Additionally, we showcased how new tools, including Flood Platform, can enhance stakeholder collaboration and promote effective community engagement,” said Alastair.
“There was an excellent range of breakout sessions and informal training opportunities on tools for increasing flood resilience over the two days, with speakers from SEPA, Scottish Canals, Network Rail Scotland, and Scottish Water,” Alastair continued.
Join us at our annual conference in October to discover how Flood Modeller and Flood Platform can revolutionise your hydrological and hydraulic analysis, and enhance your model management and collaboration.
