2018 GoldSim User Conference
Posted by Rick Kossik
The 2018 GoldSim User Conference was held on September 10-12, 2018, and was a great success. The conference was held at the Washington Athletic Club in the heart of downtown Seattle. With nearly 60 attendees from North America, South America, Asia and Australia, the conference provided great opportunities for our users to discuss and present their GoldSim applications, and discuss simulation techniques with other users and GoldSim staff.

GoldSim User Conference and Training: September 10-12, 2018
Posted by Rick Kossik
We are excited to announce that the next GoldSim User Conference will be held in Seattle on September 10-12, 2018. GoldSim user conferences provide great learning and networking opportunities for both expert and novice users.
The conference will be preceded (on September 10) by an optional one-day Basic Training workshop focusing on novice users (and could also serve as a refresher course for more experienced users who have not used GoldSim recently). This training opportunity is particularly valuable since after attending the training you will then be able to meet expert users from around the world during the conference.
The conference itself will be held September 11 and 12. On the first day of the conference, Two parallel advanced training sessions will be held. Each session will consist of a series of 1 hour training workshops on advanced GoldSim applications and modeling techniques. Attendees will be able to move between the two sessions in order to select the workshops that best align with their interests. Topics will be based on attendee requests specified on Registration Form. The second day of the conference will consist of a number of invited papers by GoldSim experts, panel discussions, and a poster session.
To facilitate effective networking opportunities, the Conference will host two fun social outings in Seattle during the evenings of September 10 and September 11. These events not only provide a great opportunity to meet and socialize with other GoldSim users and GoldSim staff, but also allow you to enjoy the sights of Seattle. Spouses/partners can attend these two events (for a modest fee).

GoldSim at AWRA 2017 National Conference
Posted by Jason Lillywhite
I recently traveled to Portland, Oregon for the AWRA 2017 National Conference to exhibit and participate in a presentation. With over 70 oral presentations to choose from, I was able to hear about a lot of the latest developments in the world of water resources. I also learned more about some of the unique challenges the Pacific Northwest is facing due to climate change, flood risk, and water quality concerns. Some topics were particularly relevant to GoldSim, such as decision support, risk-based planning, human health risk, reservoir operations, and fate of contaminants in water systems.
An interesting GoldSim application was presented by Rebecca Pluche of San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to summarize on-going work to help manage critical dam operations during construction onsite.

Posted by Jason Lillywhite
GoldSim presented a workshop and exhibited at the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) Summer Specialty Conference last week.
The theme of the conference was “Climate Change Solutions: Collaborative Science, Policy and Planning for Sustainable Water Management.” The conference included many presentation and sessions on a variety of topics covering science, data, modeling, and tools for assessing climate risk and making water resiliency decisions based on cost/benefit factors.

GoldSim Workshop at AHS Symposium in Tucson
Posted by Jason Lillywhite
GoldSim Technology Group collaborated with the Arizona Hydrological Society last week to provide a 1-day software training workshop as part of their annual conference. The workshop was well attended by folks from various organizations and companies in the area. Following the workshop, I was able to meet new people and learn more about the current water resources issues in the Southwest.

GoldSim Model Beauty Contest Winner: Moneyball!
Posted by Rick Kossik
A tradition at our User Conference is to hold a "Model Beauty Contest". The Beauty Contest is held at the end of the Conference, and is intended to allow our users to focus on the fun side of modeling and simulation. Beauty Contest entries typically describe a modeling application that is light-hearted (such as a game), amusing (e.g., probabilistically simulating the length of the restroom lines at a football stadium), or simply entertaining. This year's winner (as determined by a vote of attendees) was Joe Donnelly's "Moneyball" model.

GoldSim Applications at the Mine Water Solutions Conference
Posted by Rick Kossik
I've just returned from the Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments Conference in Vancouver, BC. This biennial conference focuses on a wide range of issues associated with mine water management, particularly in extremely wet, dry and cold climates, and with extreme hydrogeological and geochemical issues. As many of you know, GoldSim is used extensively worldwide for such applications, and as a result, GoldSim was commonly mentioned during the conference. For example, in one of the keynote sessions, Lisa Wade of GoldCorp (one of the world's largest gold producers), described the company's Water Stewardship Strategy, which it uses to ensure water security and production, reduce costs and impacts, improve operations, and address stakeholder concerns. During the talk, Lisa mentioned that as part of the Strategy, water management models at the various mine sites are all carried out using GoldSim. In addition, during the conference a number of technical papers featuring GoldSim were presented. Two such applications are briefly summarized in this post.

American Water Resources Association 2015 Conference
Posted by Jason Lillywhite
I recently traveled to sunny Los Angeles, California for the AWRA 2015 Specialty Conference: "Water for Urban Areas: Managing Risks and Building Resiliency." All of the presentations I listened to were very interesting, some of which used GoldSim as the tool to facilitate the studies and results presented. The highlight of the trip, of course, was to visit with some of our customers and make new friends. I also learned more about some of the unique challenges California is facing due to continued population growth, climate change, water quality conditions, and aging infrastructures.

Mark Your Calendar for the GoldSim User Conference in September 2015!
Posted by Rick Kossik
We recently published this in our newsletter, but I thought it would be worthwhile to post here also. After a long hiatus, we plan to host a GoldSim User Conference in Seattle in September 2015. The conference is just in the planning stages now, but the dates are very likely to be September 24 and 25. The conference will be preceded (on September 22 and 23) by a two day training workshop (focusing on novice users).

On the Road Again...
Posted by Rick Kossik
As we do every year, we will be attending a number of conferences this year, where we will have a booth, and in some cases be presenting papers. If you are attending one of these conferences, we'd love to see you. Stop by our booth, where you can meet GoldSim technical staff to ask questions, suggest new features, or just chat. The preliminary list of conferences we plan on attending are listed below:
