The team from AWA seamlessly hosted a hybrid event that broadened accessibility to a diverse audience and enabled attendees to network, learn about innovative technologies and approaches being adopted in other jurisdictions, and offered valuable professional development opportunities for our people. The breadth of the program, in particular, enabled participation, inspiration and engagement on topics that are critical to not just the water industry, but to broader environmental, city shaping and customer focused outcomes.

The workshops were relevant and very helpful. I especially liked the selection of keynote speakers. The speakers did really challenge our thinking and they made us realise, through their research and stories, the critical role of our industry will have in the future. I notice every year the Australian Water Association is lifting the bar in terms of quality, relevance and value. I am looking forward to attending next year’s conference.
