The AGS are pleased to announce details of a full day, CPD conference on Thursday 15th October in Birmingham, which will examine the latest updates and developments in contaminated land.

The contaminated land sector is evolving rapidly, shaped by new research, changing regulations and increasing environmental and sustainability demands. The Changing Landscape of Contaminated Land conference will bring together leading experts from across the industry to explore the latest developments, challenges and best practice shaping the profession today.

Chaired by AGS Chair Elect, Geraint Williams (Associate Technical Director at HKA), this one-day event will feature a diverse programme of presentations covering key technical and regulatory topics, including advances in sampling methane in groundwater, the growing importance of sustainability in land management, updates to BS 10175, and the ongoing challenges associated with emerging contaminants, low LoQ asbestos in air sampling and bioaccessibility.

In addition, the conference will provide valuable insight into the legal landscape surrounding landfill and contaminated land, helping delegates better understand risk, liability and compliance in an increasingly complex environment.

The day will also include an interactive panel discussion, offering a multi-disciplinary perspective on the current issues facing the sector and providing delegates with the opportunity to hear directly from industry experts.

Designed for professionals at all stages of their careers, from early career practitioners to experienced specialists, this conference offers a unique opportunity to stay informed, share knowledge and connect with others working across the contaminated land community.
