Yes, you've read it correctly! We have a date for the 2025 Danube Water Conference. Here is what we already know about our next big annual event: 

The third cycle of the Utility Management Training (UMT) is just around the corner, and feedback from previous cycles has been overwhelmingly positive. Launched in 2021 as a cutting-edge, modular two-year masterclass for comprehensive management in the water service sector, UMT has continued to meet its goals, delivering high-quality training despite global challenges. Serving as a mid-career skill enhancer for professionals in water utilities, UMT has also become an invaluable knowledge hub for decision-makers across industries and administrations involved in the sector. Cycle 3 of UMT is set to begin in early 2024, and applications are now open.

Re-elected Head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen commenced her 2024-2029 term with a speech that listed the key priorities for the European Commission, building on her first term while introducing new initiatives to address emerging challenges.

Call it the final proof of an ambitious concept: Last week, fourteen live and two online participants gathered at the World Bank office in Vienna, Austria for the last and final module of the second edition of the Utility Management Training.

This webinar will introduce the occurrence and behaviour of Emerging Organic Contaminants (EOCs) in water reclamation, their control measures and application in water reclamation practice. 

The collaborative conferences organized by the IWA Specialist Group on Statistics & Economics and the IWA Specialist Group on Strategic Asset Management offer industry professionals a unique platform to engage in discussions on utility management topics such as financing, performance measurement, water tariff structures, microeconomics analysis, and efficiency management.

Customers and stakeholders expect effective, efficient, affordable, sustainable, transparent and resilient water services. The International Water Organization, jointly with local water and wastewater utility Aquanet S.A. and Poznan Technical University hold this conference to adress mulitple topics in the frame of utility benchmarking and performance assessment.
