Institute Of Water Conference Heads To NI

Construction News Image
The Institute of Water conference is set to come to Northern Ireland later this month, welcoming industry leaders and businesses to Belfast for a two-day event.

The key networking event will see local businesses and water companies meet at Titanic Belfast on 27 and 28 June, with a large focus on the theme of 'How Disruption is Transforming the Water Sector'.

Sara Venning, Institute of Water President Elect and Chief Executive Officer of NI Water, will host the conference, which will explore how changes to the environment, pollution and digital advances with the emergence of new technologies, are causing what is being described as 'disruption', to populations around the world.

Environmental and ethical issues will be high on the agenda with a presentation by Presenter for the BBC's 'The One Show' and columnist for the Observer, Lucy Siegle sharing her perspectives with delegates.

The global problem of plastic and what water companies are doing to manage this will also be considered. However, the pro-plastic viewpoint will also be contested with key speakers from both sides taking part in a debate-style discussion.

Robotics and how future technologies can continue to benefit Northern Ireland Water's customers while continuing to protect the environment will also be examined.

Speakers from businesses including Fujitsu, PwC, the Graham Group, Neueda, Kier Construction, Arup and Marsh and Mercer will all be in attendance.
