World Plumbing Conference
This strategic session explores how ownership and investment models shape access, affordability, and infrastructure priorities in the water sector. Developers, regulators, and utilities will examine tensions between ambition and delivery, the meaning of water neutrality, and the role of trust, collaboration, and skilled plumbing professionals in building water-secure communities. A high-level dialogue for those shaping the built environment — and the systems that sustain it.
