Hydro 2014

For next year’s annual world hydro conference, we have found an ideal meeting point in Europe, in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy, close to the Swiss border, and with easy access from all parts of the world. Cernobbio is a short distance from the international airport of Milan, which connects with numerous cities worldwide. Accommodation at a range of world-class hotels is being reserved for HYDRO 2014 delegates, with many rooms overlooking Lake Como.

The pace of hydropower development worldwide is continuing to accelerate; recent progress has been substantial, and prospects are promising for the coming years. Hence, the sub-theme of HYDRO 2014, which will bring together planners, developers, owners, financiers, consultants and suppliers to discuss planned developments, the challenges ahead, and innovations in technology.

Study tours are provisionally planned to dams, and hydro and pumped-storage plants in Italy and Switzerland.

Beside a traditional villa where some small meetings will take place, the main Conference and Exhibition centre has a modern design, influenced by the antique greenhouses which flank the lakeside villas. A Call for Papers will be distributed shortly.
