WEFTEC offers education and training for water quality professionals. Also recognized as the largest annual water quality exhibition in the world, the expansive show floor provides unparalleled access to the most cutting-edge technologies in the field; serves as a forum for domestic and international business opportunities; and promotes invaluable peer-to-peer networking among registrants.

The theme of this year’s conference is Uncharted Waters: Preparing for the Unknown. Water and wastewater utilities are facing an ever increasing list of challenges including climate change, failing infrastructure, new regulations, and changing technology. Utilities need to try their best to be prepared so that they can successfully navigate these challenges. The conference committee has put together a conference program that ties into this theme.

The International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS) is a comprehensive international forum to address new and emerging issues related to aquatic invasive species in freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments. ICAIS provides an international platform for the presentation of aquatic invasive species research that pertains to species biology, risk assessment, prevention, management and control methods, ecological and ecosystem impacts and restoration, outreach, and policy.

Driving Efficiency and Resiliency in Water and Wastewater Systems

World Water-Tech North America 2019: Los Angeles is where over 250 U.S., Canadian, and international water utilities, municipalities, and industrial end-users will meet to find solutions to the challenges of asset optimization, digitization, leakage, energy, and reuse.

With an established reputation for fostering innovation, facilitating commercial collaborations, and showcasing disruptive start-ups, the summit is an opportunity to learn from and connect with the leading technology providers, engineering, giants and investors from across the region and around the world.

Networking is made easy via a 1:1 meeting system, a digital hub where all attendees can connect in advance before sitting down face-to-face in a dedicated networking space to forge partnerships and develop ideas.

As a global transport hub and the largest city in California – one of the most technologically advanced and water-stressed regions of the world – Los Angeles is the ideal location for the North American water industry to explore the latest innovations in water and wastewater technology.

Key summit themes include:

• Asset Optimization: Locking in Resiliency
• Indirect and Direct Reuse: Developments in Technology and Policy
• Sustainable Industry: Stewardship and Strategy
• From Machine Learning to Smart Water Grids: Hot Trends in Digital Transformation
• Rethinking Desalination – Membrane Innovation, Green Energy and Modular Plants
• Engineer 2.0: From Desk to Field
• Halving Leakage by 2050: Exploring the Strategies and Technologies that will get us there
• Emerging Efficiencies and Resiliency in Agricultural Water Stewardship
• Micropollutants: Tackling the Mighty Challenge Facing Water Quality
• Head of Innovation Forum
• Water-Tech Deals of the Year 2019

Before the inception of this conference, the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA) hosted several stand alone events focusing on various aspects of water management – including drinking water, wastewater, and efficiency. By merging these events into one National Conference, CWWA has created an event that merges all aspects of water management and provides networking opportunities for information exchange.(CWWS

Aquatech Amsterdam is a trade show for process water , drinking water, and wastewater. It hosts 21,000 attendees from 139 countries and over 850 exhibitors every two years.

Over a decade of successful conventions, the global WATEC community has built and shared a growing body of important knowledge and showcased a range of revolutionary technologies and solutions.

WATEC 2019 will mark an exciting departure from previous conventions. Not only will you be kept up to date and well informed on developments and trends related to water and environmental management, but there will also be a strong focus on building important connections and networks that will allow for ongoing engagement and global co-operation.

This event is the ideal platform to maximise exposure, build diverse networks in the industry, remain on the cutting edge and catch up with old friends and colleagues.

Many of today’s economic, environmental, and social challenges are impacting the health of Ontario’s natural resources and creating the need for us to re-think traditional approaches. To ensure healthy watersheds and people, we need to continue to look forward, adapt and find innovative new ways to protect our critical natural resources.

This Symposium is a forum for practitioners, policy makers, nongovernment organizations, academics, and businesses. It is a chance to network and discuss the challenges and opportunities in Ontario’s conservation field.

The Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) holds an annual workshop for threwe days each year in November. The event also includes the MEA’s Annual General Meeting. The location of the workshop changes from year to year as Ontario municipalities take turns sponsoring the event.

This year, the MEA Workshop’s theme of For All Seasons is about the meaning of being a smaller municipality geared towards the tourism industry providing amenities for people of all ages and abilities.

The Top100 Projects Key Players and Owners Dinner event brings together nearly 300 of the leaders from Canada’s largest firms in construction, engineering, financial, legal, government, and environmental sectors to celebrate of the biggest public sector infrastructure projects being built in Canada.

Seminar attendees include: operators, supervisors, managers, system owners, suppliers, contractors, government officials, consultants and many other industry professionals. The seminar offers a trade show, technical sessions and speakers, networking opportunities and social events.

The focuses on drinking water in Ontario and attracts over 900 delegates from all areas of our industry: operators and owners, manufacturers and suppliers, consultants, academics, and regulators. The Trade Show has more than 100 exhibitors representing the manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to the water industry. This is a great opportunity to network, and keep informed about technical, regulatory, and equipment development which affect the industry.

Blue Cities is the annual flagship event of the Canadian Municipal Water Consortium. The Canadian Municipal Water Consortium is a nation-wide collaboration that enables those involved in the management of municipal water to anticipate, respond, and adapt to key challenges and emerging trends. The Consortium connects municipalities, researchers, industry, and government to create meaningful partnerships and collectively address Canada’s municipal water management challenges.

The IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition is the global event for water professionals covering the entire water cycle. As the Congress rotates through cities and countries, each event has an extra emphasis on issues of specific interest to the region.
