Registration<https://www.instreamflowcouncil.org/conferences-flow-2018/flow-2018-registration/>:
Flow 2018 is not far around the next bend!
There is a limit to the number of attendees that can be accommodated, so don't
miss your chance to join this international gathering of instream flow
specialists, practioners, water managers, and scientists. The contacts you'll
make will be well worth your time.  This will be a great place to meet people
you've heard of but never had a chance to meet as well as find people you've
never heard of who may become a great information resource. Bring a friend too,
or two!

Program<https://www.instreamflowcouncil.org/conferences-flow-2018/flow-2018-program/>:
Day 1: The first day will be a daylong training session where you can select 2
of the 4 available training sessions (1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon)
on: FERC hydropower licensing, water law concepts for dealing with drought,
reducing uncertainty in riverine ecosystems during environmental change, or
handling information in water management issues.

Days 2 and 3 of the workshop involve presentations by internationally
recognized experts providing examples on the use and need of effective laws,
policies, science, and public participation to meet water management objectives
for rivers, reservoirs, and lakes under drought conditions.

The invited speakers were chosen after an extensive search by the program
committee and workshop advisors. Each of the four sessions on days 2 and 3
covering Legal, Institutional, Technical, and Public Involvement issues will
culminate with facilitated discussions with the presenters.
