The Association of State Floodplain Managers will convene our 31st annual gathering – the world's largest and most comprehensive floodplain management conference – the week of June 3-8, 2007, in Norfolk, Virginia. We invite you to share your experiences with local, state, and federal officials, industry leaders, consultants, and other interested parties by presenting a paper relevant to our theme, “Charting the Course to New Perspectives in Floodplain Management”.
Norfolk is beset with miles of lake, river, and bay shoreline, with the Atlantic coast nearby, so “Charting The Course” is a relevant theme in keeping with its unique nautical legacy. For floodplain managers, it means tracking the progress and making critical decisions for approaching storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other such tempests. It also represents the increasing trends in human migration and development in flood-prone areas. Plus, it can signify taking charge of your career by surrounding yourself with the best in the business and gleaning all you can to better do your job!
Throughout the week, 180 of the industry's experts will conduct plenary and concurrent sessions and share the state-of-the-art in techniques, programs, and resources to accomplish flood mitigation, watershed management, and other community goals. A three-day comprehensive exposition features the materials, equipment, accessories, and services vital to get the job done. Supplementary technical field tours and workshops provide in-depth training. Numerous networking activities offer additional opportunities to learn from each other.

Norfolk Area Links & Information
Norfolk serves as the cultural, educational, business, and medical center of Virginia's Hampton Roads region. In Norfolk, life is not to be missed; it's to be celebrated...daily! This city of 241,000 residents is undergoing successful renewal, including new office, retail, entertainment, and hotel construction downtown, new residential development along the rivers and bay front, and revitalization projects in many of its neighborhoods.
Founded in 1682, Norfolk grew up on the water, so the waterfront is central to many of its neighborhoods. This city boasts seven miles of Chesapeake Bay beachfront and 144 miles of shoreline along its lakes, rivers and the Bay. The city's popular logo - an elegant young mermaid - symbolizes 300 years of maritime and naval heritage as well as Norfolk's modern reputation as a city on the move.
