Annual Conference and Exhibition 2012

17  - 18th May 2012  The Royal Society, London

‘2012 - Changing the Industry for a Sustainable Legacy’
Chaired by Nick Ellins, Institute of Water President

 

 

Kindly sponsored by Thames Water

By the time the Institute of Water 2012 Conference and Exhibition gets underway in May 2012, most elements of the water industry will either be changing, under review or re-structured. New government environmental and social legislation; draft price setting methodologies; changes to environmental regulatory structures; further clarity on the future of consumer representation and an increased focus on the consumer experience within water and sewerage companies will all place fresh demands on all those who work in or supply the sector.

Join the Institute of Water as the key people in the sector help you to understand the implications of these changes and give their views on whether they will ensure the industry can meet the challenges of today, whilst leaving a sustainable legacy for future generations.

We promise you a memorable event that will directly support your professional development, give you a unique insight into the latest issues and provide exceptional networking opportunities with people from across the sector. These include:

 

• Martin Baggs, Chief Executive, Thames Water
