Ozwater 14

Ozwater is Australia`s international water conference and trade exhibition, and is run annually by the Australian Water Association (AWA). This highly regarded event has built a strong reputation for being the `must attend` event on the calendar for water industry professionals and those with a commerical interest in water. The last event, Ozwater`13, attracted over 3000 participant.

Building upon AWA’s mission to be the ‘hub for water professionals’, Ozwater’13 will attract a diverse audience from water professionals, decision and policy makers through to students, scientists and researchers.

It’s also a platform to:

CONNECT- With a very interactive program, you’ll get plenty of face-to-face opportunities to create global relationships with a variety of water professionals. Networking is all about cultivating mutually beneficial personal relationships which we believe will help your organisation to stand out and contribute to its success.

LEARN INTERACTIVELY – A series of hands-on workshops will be held – it’s a great way to debate and discuss current issues, policies and technologies. With workshops on diverse topics from recycled water and public engagement through to urban water research and online water quality monitoring, we’ll ensure you take a wealth of information back to your organisation.
