Global Water Summit Networking

Where water meets money

Over two decades ago, we realised that the only way to make progress in the water sector would be to go global, and gather all major decision makers in one room. We needed to make water meet money - that's why it's our URL.

But we're not an events company. Global Water Intelligence is a business intelligence and analytics platform, and that means our agenda is curated by our expert analysts and reporters who track capital flows, technology shifts and policy changes across the global water sector full-time.

That's what makes GWS different: it's built by industry insiders from live market intelligence, with business strategy in mind.

GWS is a conference like no other.

For over 20 years, Global Water Intelligence (GWI) has been the trusted intelligence provider shaping strategic decisions across the water sector.

At GWS, we distil that market expertise into an agenda focused on solving the industry's most critical challenges.

Water's flagship event

The Global Water Summit draws exclusively senior leadership from every corner of the sector.

That unique concentration of high-level decision-makers makes it the ideal place to connect with every step of the water value chain.

Mitigating all conference travel emissions

Getting all those water execs gathered in one room requires a lot of flights around the globe.

With support from Aqualia, GWS partners directly with Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL), an organisation working across Cap-Haïtien. They're providing safe sanitation and long-term solutions in a direct, impactful alternative to traditional carbon mitigation methods.
