AWA/IWA Australia-New Zealand Young Water Professionals Conference 2020

Held in Brisbane, Australia on 12-14 March 2020, the Australian Water Association and International Water Association Young Water Professionals Conference will bring together future leaders from Australia, New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region working in industry, research and government around a central theme: “What’s your water story?”
Water connects us all irrespective of location, race, gender, culture and identity. Water supports our lives, our prosperity and our planet. We all have a story connected to water, and we want to hear yours. We will hear about the YWPs’ inspiring tales about water industry projects and research and stories about water and culture and how they interact.
