Preparations for ANCOLD 2020 conference in Perth are well in hand, with the Call for Papers now open.

A culture of sharing insights and experiences with our peers is a true strength of the ANCOLD community. This provides opportunity for new approaches to be assessed and progressively improved and developed.

While the immediate future is uncertain as a result of the coronavirus, the organising committee is continuing preparations to deliver a high-class technical program, whether this be in the traditional conference format or a virtual online experience. In either case, the opportunity to share important industry experiences will be provided.

I encourage all dams professionals to consider submitting a paper to share new and innovative ideas. The success of the program depends on the input of our members and industry colleagues.

ANCOLD Chairman
