IWA World Water Congress

The International Water Association (IWA), in partnership with the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA) and the Canadian Association on Water Quality (CAWQ) and with the support of Destination Toronto, is proud to announce that the 2024 IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition (WWCE) will take place in Toronto, Canada, from 11-15 August 2024. It will be held in the first-class facilities of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. 

Hosting the IWA WWCE in Toronto in 2024 provides an outstanding opportunity to bring together water professionals and the wider stakeholders needed to secure progress on water in a unique global forum, allowing participants to network and to share insights and experience on the latest trends in the best practice, innovative technologies, and management approaches.

With water professionals from more than 100 countries expected to be present at this prestigious event, the experience and expertise of Canada and the wider North American region will provide the backdrop to an event that will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from around the world. The event is expected to bring together over 10,000 participants from academia, utilities, industry, government, regulators, solutions providers, urban planning, the ICT sector, the financial sector, NGOs, and more.

IWA’s World Water Congress & Exhibition series provides a global forum every two years under the banner of ‘Shaping Our Water Future’. The 2024 edition in Toronto will provide a showcase for the latest developments that can contribute to key agendas, from the need for action on climate change adaptation and mitigation to progress on the circular economy and resource recovery and the widespread application of digital technologies.

The 2024 edition will present opportunities for innovation and action that together will help secure progress on water, especially on global action for the UN SDGs.
