This year’s forum will dive into the history of transformative topics discussed over the past two decades—from sustainable water management to the advent of digital innovation and resilience. We’ll explore how past challenges have influenced our current strategies and the key trends that have defined our collective approach.
Looking forward, our sector leaders will anticipate what lies ahead, examining emerging themes in environmental stewardship, technological integration, and inclusivity that will shape water leadership in the years to come.

Navigating Complexity & Growth in the Boardroom
