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.
Head of Innovation, UNITED UTILITIES

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.
Technical Director, WSP

This summit has been the key to establish partnerships with other utilities, as well as with technology providers. Today, we work a lot more with international stakeholders than we did in the past.
CEO, AGUAS DO PORTO

This event has been a great opportunity not only to show our solutions and experience, but also to connect with potential customers and partners. Definitely a fantastic opportunity to take the pulse of the water sector globally.
Head of Product and Technology, AGANOVA

If you want to know the latest innovations and meet the thought leaders of the water world, you should attend the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit. You will share experiences on the main issues facing the water industry and energy conversations in a global warming world that makes the water resource even more valuable for lives and businesses.
President Water Wastewater Segment, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

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.
