Key Themes

AI after the hype

Everyone has an AI strategy. The real question is whether data, automation and digital tools are improving operational performance.

Renewal by evidence

Utilities are shifting from replacing what is old to renewing what is most likely to fail. The challenge now is proving the case and delivering at pace.

Supply under stress

Drought, floods, cyber-attacks and supply shocks rarely arrive alone. Reuse, desalination, storage and demand management are becoming core supply.

Industry at the table

Semiconductors, data centres and food producers are reshaping water demand. Utilities and industry must now plan, fund and share risk together.

Quality under scrutiny

PFAS, micropollutants and emerging contaminants are tightening standards. The priority is proven treatment at a cost customers can bear.

Who pays for water’s future?

Affordability, regulation and investment are pulling in different directions. The sector needs funding models that back the projects that deliver.

It’s a must-attend event in my busy calendar. I never turn down the opportunity to hear from other global innovators, to see emerging new technologies, to catch up with well-known friends and colleagues – and to meet new people that my company need to know about to see how we can help each other.

It was my first time attending and I found it excellent. Managed to get a dozen one to one meetings booked in one day through the app, meeting the people I was looking to meet which made such a big difference.

The summit offered many of the benefits of a much larger conference by the quality & relevance of presentation topics covered. But the 1-1 networking experience from a smaller, more engaging environment was a significant plus.
