Organise an Event

IWA has a large growing programme of international and regional conferences, seminars and workshops on all aspects of water management – scientific, technical, management, legal, financial policy etc.

Our vision is “A world in which water is wisely managed to satisfy the needs of human activities and ecosystems in an equitable and sustainable way”. This vision guides everything we do. We aim to create opportunities for an interdisciplinary network of water professionals to network, research, and share and develop their knowledge and skills to contribute to a water-wise world. Do you think your event will contribute to work towards a Water-Wise World? We are very keen to see your proposal.

We are constantly striving to expand our conference programme and so will accept offers from within our membership and from other organisations in the role of co-organiser or supporting organisation.
