PIANC UK Young Professionals are holding a Half-Day Seminar on Monday 10th June 2013 at 18:00hrs at Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, Westminster, London SW1P 3AA.

Synopsis
From planning, through design to construction management, PIANC’s young professionals are involved in a wide range of marine and waterways infrastructure projects. In PIANC UK’s 2013 YP Seminar, members from leading UK maritime consultants, contractors and owner/operators are invited to present on the projects they have influenced and give us an insight into the contribution our Young Professionals are making to our industry as well as the specific challenges they have overcome.

PechaKucha (Japanese for ‘chit chat) was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. The simple presentation format is 20 images each shown for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. Find out more at www.pecha-kucha.org

This event is free and open to all professionals, young and old, with an interest in the planning, design and development of marine and waterways infrastructure.

Following the seminar the PIANC UK Committee will be inviting all Young Professionals (under 35) attending the seminar to join them for drinks and networking.
