Today's Vision On The 2025 Speaker Panel

We began preparations for the 2025 event much earlier in the planning cycle to ensure we could establish strong relationships with new water utilities and expand the agenda by bringing in fresh voices. This effort takes time, but it’s paying off. So far, we've had a fantastic response from the industry in terms of identifying brand-new learning topics, and during our research discussions, we’ve already confirmed ten speakers who are excited to contribute to the vision and mission of the 2025 event. 

Our goal is to feature between 35 and 45 speakers over two days, and some participants have even suggested extending the event to a third day to dive deeper into data analytics. While there is certainly enough content and willing speakers to justify an additional day, we’re still evaluating whether this would be feasible for attendees in terms of time away from their offices. The key to our 2025 vision is diversity—not just in the types of technologies being discussed but in the perspectives of speakers. We’re actively seeking contributions from both large and small water utilities, particularly those managing dense urban areas under heavy regulatory pressure, as well as those operating in rural settings. From regions and countries that the industry hasn't heard from before.  The aim is to showcase innovation in both approach and technology, offering resourceful solutions tailored to different utility needs. Feedback so far has been positive, and we’re excited to continue building relationships and introducing new voices to the event.

The speaker lineup will be announced as early as November 2024, and we’ll be providing regular updates along the way. Our focus is on curating a panel that reflects the diversity of the industry, ensuring a wide range of expertise and real-world insights on technology adoption and system integration. Stay tuned for further announcements as we continue to finalise our speaker roster.
