BROOMFIELD, CO, Jan 29, 2009 - MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced the dates of the 2009 MWH Soft International User Group Conference (IUGC). The unique event, which brings the MWH Soft community together under one roof, will be held August 27-29, 2009 in Reno, NV, USA, immediately preceding the American Water Works Association’s annual Distribution Systems Symposium (DSS).

The theme of the 2009 event is “Advanced Network Modeling to Reduce Capital and Operational Expenses…The Power of Less” and will focus on using MWH Soft software to optimize utilities management during tough economic times. Presentations will be geared toward achieving operational, engineering and planning efficiencies and cost savings through the use of hydraulic modeling, computerized asset management/capital planning, and automated pipeline design.

Regarding the timing and location of the event, MWH Soft Director of Marketing Adam Simonsen noted, “Many members of our user community already attend the AWWA (DSS). In this difficult economic climate, we wanted our customers to receive as much learning and information as possible for one travel budget. We are excited about the opportunities this event offers them, and we think they will be, too.”

Today through March 15th, 2009, MWH Soft users can submit abstracts to be considered for presentation at the event. Submission of abstracts for multiple projects is encouraged. Special consideration will be given to projects that demonstrate economic savings.

“We are always astounded by our clients’ level of innovation in using our software, and humbled by their passion and commitment to this industry,” said keynote speaker and MWH Soft President Dr. Paul Boulos. “We are excited to see this year’s submissions, and look forward to creating a seminal event from which our users can learn and grow.”

The conference will include demonstrations of the latest releases of MWH Soft’s industry-leading water and urban drainage design and modeling software, along with condition and risk assessment solutions for investment planning. A highlight will be the presentation of the company’s new automated detailed (horizontal and vertical alignment) pipeline design application, which includes complete profile and plan drawing generation. The agenda will also feature hands-on software demonstrations, discussions of business implementation and management issues, industry solutions presentations, technology updates, and social and networking events.

“This is a fun and educational event, guaranteed to energize and inspire,” said Boulos. “It provides a wonderful forum for sharing best practices and exploring the state of the art in water and wastewater infrastructure engineering, design, and management solutions created to help solve everyday challenges and problems. As attendees carry this valuable learning experience back to their organizations, they can open new avenues not only for increasing productivity and performance, enhancing project quality and maximizing return on their software investments, but gaining a competitive edge on the future, advancing their careers, and improving the quality of life in their communities.”
