IWA International Young Water Professionals Conference (IYWPC) provides a unique combination of programmatic content that will appeal to young academics, early career and mid-career professionals from all disciplines and types of organisations. Through the offering of technical paper sessions, poster exhibition, topical and soft skill development workshops, trainings, solutions work, networking opportunities, and a career fair, it is the “Must attend” event for career development in the water sector.

The International Water Association has held seven successful International Young Water Professional Conferences, with the next event scheduled in Cape Town South Africa (10-13 December 2017). Previous IYWPC’s have been held in the UK (2002), Netherlands (2004), Singapore (2006), USA (2008), Australia (2010), Hungary (2012), Taiwan (2014).

The 9^th edition (to be held in 2019) of this affordable event, designed specifically for young water professional learning, will continue this legacy by building on voluntary contributions of young water professionals in organisation and programme committees, supported by advisory committees.

If your organisation is interested in hosting this conference, please read the guidelines for venue proposal and send your statement of interest, an email stating your intention to submit a proposal, to Keith Robertson (keith.robertson@iwahq.org)
