Each year, EcoForum brings Australian environment industry practitioners and their clients from across Australia
together in Sydney for three days to solve environmental problems and act on potential business opportunities.
It is a multi-disciplinary environment industry event that encourages participation, provides real solutions and
business leads and facilitates discussion and knowledge sharing on issues of concern.
In 2011, the conference streams were:
- Land and groundwater remediation (ALGA 4th Annual Conference)
- Waste and resource recovery
- Water cycle sustainability
- Water and climate change
- Communication and engagement
The event featured an exhibition of environmental products and services and a range of social and business
networking activities.
