Innovative Solutions to Water Industry Challenges

After last year’s focus on delivering a step change in efficiency, the WES conference maintains its reputation for agenda-setting themes and thought leadership. The theme of this year’s event puts a spotlight on the innovative solutions that are helping the water industry overcome a range of challenges.

From water scarcity and climate unpredictability, to sustainability pressures and ageing infrastructure, the water industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges. The Water Equipment Show provides a unique opportunity for water companies, manufacturers and suppliers to unite and find solutions to the challenges that lie ahead.

John Howarth, Pump Centre Manager, said:

“The water industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges, challenges which cannot be tackled alone. The Water Equipment Show provides the perfect opportunity for companies to discuss the ways in which they can combat these challenges. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we unite in the name of creating a better, more sustainable environment for all.”

The show opens at 8:30 am on Thursday 16th May 2024. There is free access to all the technical areas for pre-registered delegates. There are over 1,000 free car parking spaces adjacent to the venue, and complimentary refreshments will be available during the day, subject to availability.
