Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II unveiling of the Thames Barrier, a symbol of London's flood resilience. Since 1984, this engineering marvel has safeguarded millions of lives along the River Thames. Our event honours its history, achievements, and addresses future flood challenges facing London.
As climate change continues to present challenges to London, we will hear from experts on how to manage tidal flood risk in the Thames estuary throughout the 21st century.
We will hear about the I-STORM network - the international knowledge sharing network for all those working in the storm surge barrier industry.
This event gives all those who have worked on the Thames Barrier over the years, or are interested and involved in future flood management programmes, to share their views and stories as we continue to find ways to managing the challenges of flooding in our major cities.
