Show Open: Welcome to the World Plumbing Conference 2026
Kevin Wellman, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE), officially opens the World Plumbing Conference 2026 with an energising address that reflects on plumbing’s evolving role in protecting public health, advancing sustainability, and shaping global infrastructure.
His welcome sets the tone for three days of collaboration, innovation, and sector-wide impact—uniting professionals from across the world in a shared mission to elevate plumbing’s purpose. The programme then launches into Day One’s theme: Governance, Trust & Workforce Development.
