Announcing BW’s Annual Conference 2025
|

We are delighted to announce that the third edition of British Water’s Annual Conference will take place on Monday 10 November, in Coventry, and will once again carry the ‘Better Together’ theme, under the new title: ‘Better Together: Delivering for Success’.
With a significant increase in sector investment across the UK, Northern Ireland, and internationally – alongside a growing number of major infrastructure projects across multiple sectors – this year’s conference will explore how the water and wastewater ecosystem must work differently to deliver on these ambitious demands.
The event will build on conversations and actions from last year’s conference, feature new panels and bring together regulators, water companies, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, academia and others to share best practice and practical solutions.
