Water is the lifeblood of the world and never more so than in Montréal, the venue for the World Water Congress and Exhibition, from September 19 to 24, 2010.
This event attracts 3,000 researchers, academics, utility managers and water technology suppliers and provides a unique opportunity to learn of the latest research findings and operational practices from around the world through a series of scientific sessions and workshops. Although most utilities face similar problems, it is exciting to learn of the different solutions that have been found and implemented in other parts of the world.
The International Water Association (IWA) World Water Congress & Exhibition is a high profile international event attracting thousands of water professionals and organizations from across the globe. It is a biennial event organised by the IWA and previously hosted in Vienna, Beijing, Marrakech, Melbourne, Berlin and Paris. In 2012, it will take place in Korea. Features of the Congress include scientific sessions, posters, workshops and meetings of the IWA specialty groups. Also featured are the Utility Leaders’ Forum, and the Mayors’ Forum which take place within the Congress, but the forums address topics of specific interest to utility leaders and elected officials. CWWA is specifically involved in planning the Utility Leaders’ Forum.
The Call for Papers for this event is now closed. Abstracts submitted to IWA will be examined and selected by the Program Committee. Wolf Keller (City of Calgary) and Yves Comeau (École Polytechnique de Montréal) are the two Canadians on the Committee.
The IWA World Water Conference and Exhibition provides an exciting opportunity to share novel or innovative technology and solutions to a water challenge with your peers. Please consider exhibiting at Montréal 2010. See the exhibition information at: www.iwa2010montreal.org/invitation-to-exhibit.asp. In this respect, the Canadian National Committee of the International Water Association are hoping there will be three separate Canadian Pavillions comprising exhibitors from the federal and provincial governments, from universities and from Canadian/North American suppliers and consultants. Any organization interested in being part of one of these pavillions should contact T. Duncan Ellison by e-mail at tdellison[@]cwwa.ca (remove the square brackets in the e-mail address).
