We are thrilled to invite you to the Waterloss 2026 Conference, the premier global event dedicated to the challenges and solutions in water loss management. Taking place in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this event will bring together leading experts, professionals, and stakeholders from around the world to explore innovative strategies, technologies, and best practices in the field of water conservation and distribution.

Waterloss 2026 will provide an unparalleled platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and driving forward the global agenda for sustainable water management. With the increasing challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and aging infrastructure, the need for effective water loss reduction strategies has never been more critical. This conference will feature a range of workshops, panel discussions, and technical sessions designed to address both the technical and policy aspects of water loss.

Set against the backdrop of Rio de Janeiro’s iconic landscapes, participants will not only engage in world-class discussions but will also have the opportunity to experience the rich culture and natural beauty of one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Join us in shaping the future of water management as we work together to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rio in 2026!
