Geographic information systems have become a necessary component in the planning and management of water resources, and the natural and human systems affected by water resources. This Specialty Conference continues the AWRA biennial tradition of surveying the state of knowledge in this field, following the 2004 Conference in Nashville and the 2006 Conference in Houston. AWRA provides a unique professional home for GIS in water resources specialists, and important decisions have emerged from past AWRA conferences. For example, the informal gatherings at the Nashville Conference led to a critical convergence of thinking on the synthesis of national datasets for hydrography, elevation and land cover that resulted in the new NHDPlus dataset now available for the nation.

Exciting new developments that will be presented at the 2008 Conference include the acquisition and mass processing of LiDAR representation for land surface terrain, the maturing of the FEMA Map Modernization process and the emergence of Hydrologic Information Systems which place water observation time series data such as rainfall, streamflow, water quality and groundwater level data in a geospatial context.

Developing and Executing Marketing Strategies for Professional Services

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 19, 2008,
Sydney, New South Wales Australia

The prominence and role of the disciplines of marketing and business development within firms is essential to ensuring the organisation promotes itself appropriately to both internal and external stakeholders and clients.

However, failure to accommodate for the unique challenges faced by practitioners in this field means that the efficacy of the message can become distorted or compromised, costing the organisation in more ways than the bottom line.

A crucial factor in effectively developing and executing campaigns is the ability of marketing professionals to demonstrate the role that marketing plays in the long-term success of the organisation, particularly in regards to business building, the cultivation and maintenance of a coherent organisational culture and branding. Also essential is to promote the benefits of positioning the marketing function in both an internal and external-facing position that not only generates business, but is also essential for continued customer relationship management.

Mortgage Loan Business Asia

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 18, 2008,
Singapore City, Singapore

Some commercial banks devised extremely aggressive marketing campaigns to ramp up the size of their housing portfolios. This included intensive advertising campaigns, waivers of processing and administration fees, gift offers and other incentives, on the spot loan approvals without sufficient documentary evidence and loan to value ratios that exceeded 100%. This was supplemented by cutthroat competition on the pricing front, with each new player trying to undercut the other. Still, different nations have different policies on home ownership and different systems to support

This conference intends to expand and reinforce the current mortgage product portfolio and upgrade the existing product, looking into the impact of US sub-prime mortgage crisis on Asia institution’s risk management strategy and improve the quality of mortgage loans that is being distributed in the mortgage market evolution.

Biomarkers 2008

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 19, 2008,
BSG Conference Centre, London, England, United Kingdom

The pharmaceutical industry is constantly looking for ways to cut costs, speed drugs to market and develop innovative new products to improve patient care. Biomarker technology can help your company achieve these three key goals. Yet despite the benefi ts biomarker technology has the potential to accrue, it is not yet widely applied. Successful application could give your company the competitive advantage it seeks, and this conference will help identify areas where biomarkers can be implemented in your business practices.

Biomarker technology can facilitate earlier identifi cation of successful candidate molecules, allowing go/no-go decisions to be taken sooner
and for resources to be allocated more effi ciently and effectively. They are also crucial for keeping up with the changing nature of the pharmaceutical market. As the traditional blockbuster business model falters in its tracks, recently illustrated by Pfi zer’s diffi culties with Exubera, it seems the industry is shifting towards portfolios of personalised medicines. These can only be developed with the aid of biomarkers.

It is a new and exciting technology, which still has a lot of scope for innovative business applications. Methods of discovery are constantly evolving; as scientists begin to fully understand the potential of genomics, the whole scope of proteome analysis opens up before them. Applications for these new discoveries are still being explored and a major challenge is now faced in convincing the regulators.

Registration - why should we do it?

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 17, 2008,
Aerosystems International Yeovil United Kingdom

Why do engineers want to get registered? Why should they? We explore the motives and look into how it can be done, and means to that end, including mentoring. But as that's for a purpose, what next? What does registered status enable one to do? What routes can one take post-registration? Since the question is wide open ans some people may not be altogether sure, how can mentoring help at any and every stage? Help is there for all members, registered or not. How can you benefit and could you help.

Australian Higher Education Congress

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 18, 2008,
Sydney, New South Wales Australia

The higher education system in Australia is changing. The institutions are becoming more businesslike and the marketplace is becoming more competitive. Universities in Australia have traditionally all followed a single business model where local students pay for standard degrees with the help of the HECS payment scheme, or international students pay full fees. However, universities are now using different business models in order to differentiate and competitively position themselves.

The structure is now changing towards a United States-style degree system. Vertical integration of education is also happening and these strategies are partly a result of government policy and the regulatory environment in which Higher Education now operates.
Australia is now facing the most radical transformation of management education in a generation!
