Bookings have opened for the Institute of Water’s Annual Conference - this year’s conference has the theme of ‘It’s Water We Do Best’.
The two-day event will provide a platform to discuss a wide range of live topics for the sector through talks, exhibits and interactive speaker sessions.
The conference will also provide networking opportunities for attendees and include input from across the water industry and related organisations.
Speaking about the event, Conference Chair and Thames Water CEO, Martin Baggs, said:
‘The event will put the spotlight on our core business – delivering high quality water and wastewater services to our customers 24/7 – with insights into how the water industry can deliver a world-class service through innovation and great customer service.”
“We will consider water industry resilience not only for our customers but also the future protection of the environment. Our sector has a significant impact on society, through developing talent and providing career and learning opportunities – this is something very important to both the Institute of Water and me personally and the conference will allow us an opportunity to explore this further. With competition on the horizon, we will also consider whether we can all be unique while selling the same product.”
“Having worked in the water industry for 30 years, I am passionate about what we deliver and how we deliver it. This event promises to bring together what it really means to work in our ever-evolving industry today and in the future.’
Institute of Water Chief Executive, Lynn Cooper said:
‘Our Annual Conference is now in its 71st year and we’re looking forward to what is sure to be another fantastic event. We’ve broken delegate records in each of the previous two years and we anticipate doing the same in 2016. I’d urge anyone in the Water Sector with a desire to develop their career to come along.’
The Institute of Water was founded in 1945 and is the only professional body that exclusively supports the careers of anyone working in the UK water industry.
The Annual Conference 2016 takes places on 12 and 13 May at The REP, Birmingham.
