14TH INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS' CONFERENCE

ENVIROMANAGEMENT 2024

MANAGING SOLID WASTE AND RESOURCES PROPERLY...

FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 1, 2024
HOTEL PATRIA ****, ŠTRBSKÉ PLESO, HIGH TATRAS
SLOVAKIA

MAIN TOPICS

ENVIROMANAGEMENT is the premier Waste and Resource conference in Slovakia.  Each year, it offers the chance to learn more about specialist topics affecting the waste and recycling industry, and also to network with experts from 20* European countries in a beautiful and unique setting.
This year, the theme for will be “MANAGING SOLID WASTE AND RESOURCES PROPERLY . . . failing to plan is planning to fail”.

Waste and recycling projects are notoriously difficult to realise, particularly those involving new infrastructure and services.  These often involve complex financing arrangements, detailed legal agreements, managing the views of a diverse range of stakeholders, developing  intricate technical designs, and conducting thorough environmental investigations.  As a result, these projects can often have long lead in times and cost huge sums of money, even before a single brick has been laid.

Please come and join us at Enviromanagement 2024 in the High Tatras, where we will delve into the many facets of planning successful waste and resource management projects, and provide case studies based on actual experience of our expert speakers.

* At least once at the conference represented countries:
Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Austria, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, UK, Ukraine
