AMI is pleased to invite you to consider speaking at or attending the 5th international conference on Waterproof Membranes to be held from 15-17 November 2011 at the Maritim Hotel in Cologne, Germany. There is a welcome reception and registration on the first evening followed by a 2-day programme of speakers from the waterproofing industry and its suppliers.
The construction and civil engineering industry is responding to green building needs and sustainability targets. Extra demands are being placed on waterproofing as functions are added to the membrane, such as warming and cooling, energy generation (wind and solar), chemical resistance in landfill, and horticultural resources on roofs and also facades. Waterproof Membranes 2011 offers a place to network for researchers, architects, installers, manufacturers and suppliers, to discuss industry trends and new developments, and the best membranes for each application.
