Where Water Meets Money
Over 1,200 senior executives gather at the Global Water Summit because we combine the agenda, attendees, and meeting infrastructure that turn strategic conversations into partnerships.
Last year facilitated 3,000+ strategic meetings.
Where Strategic Partnerships Begin
The Global Water Summit brings together the exact combination of decision-makers needed for high-level strategic partnerships.
22% Technology & Equipment Providers
20% Municipal (utilities and water agencies)
11% Consultants, Equities & Law
10% Finance & Development Finance Institutions
10% Engineering & Construction
9% Private Water Operators
8% Desalination Specialists
6% Industrial Water Users
3% Academic & NGO
This concentration of senior executives - from technology providers to utility directors, finance institutions to industrial leaders - creates opportunities that don't exist anywhere else.
Where Deals Get Done
Purpose-built infrastructure for high-level strategic meetings. Extensive meeting spaces open throughout the entire summit - from dedicated one-to-one zones to interactive workshops and roundtable rotation sessions.
Last year's summit facilitated over 3,000 business conversations across three days. Partnerships were formed, collaborations were launched, and the foundations for long-term relationships were laid.
The meeting spaces won't run out. Your schedule will fill first. Come prepared.

"This has grown to be the 'Davos of Water'. GWS has passed the tipping point where it's no longer about justifying to go, but about justifying not to go: there is no other water event featuring that density of executives in the same building, all being genuinely approachable by the event's design."
