The increased interest by the water and wastewater utilities in South East Europe on leading edge practices in the field of Strategic Asset Management (SAM) brought the attention on the need to organize the International Forum in 2020.

The Forum is fully supported by the IWA Specialist Group on Strategic Asset Management (SAM SG) with confirmed participation of acknowledged international experts.

The Association for Water Technology and Sanitary Engineering (UTVSI), as IWA Governing member of Serbia, is fully supporting the Forum. Most of the UTVSI’s members (209 individual and 25 collective members, 109 organizations and institutions and 86 companies and water utilities), are advanced in implementing SAM and the Forum will bring additional benefits in sharing their knowledge and experience in SAM.

The IWA International SAM Forum 2020 will articulate with the International Water Forum and Fair that UTVSI (IWA member) is organizing annually since 2008.
