Get ready for Water Efficiency Conference 2025 – the global gathering where urban water efficiency is front and centre.
Hosted by the International Water Association and the Australian Water Association, event is all about collaboration, innovation and real-world solutions to water’s most pressing challenges.
On 16–18 September more than 100 experts from across the globe will come together in Melbourne for three bumper days of workshops, tech demos, panels and case studies from Australia, Ghana, Singapore, Spain and beyond.
This event is your chance to hear what’s really working, beyond reports and theory, and connect with a global network of water professionals dedicated to practical solutions.
You’ll hear from pioneering leaders and learn about proven strategies across five key themes:
- Demand management – water use planning, community incentives and boosting efficiency in non-residential sectors.
- Leakage and water loss – smart detection technologies, data-driven prioritisation, and system benchmarking to reduce losses.
- Digital and AI tools – from smart meters and digital twins to predictive analytics and asset forecasting, the future is digital.
- Behavioural change – customer insights, communication strategies, school programs, and tools to measure impact.
- Community engagement – multi-stakeholder collaboration, co-design initiatives and building capacity for lasting impact.
