IDA WORLD CONGRESS 2021

IDA WORLD CONGRESS UPDATE 2021 IDA WORLD CONGRESS:CHARTING RESILIENT WATER SOLUTIONS, NOVEMBER 7-11, 2021, RELOCATES TO SYDNEY WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT.

The International Desalination Association flagship event returns to Australia a decade later from the 2011 IDA World Congress held in Perth. The World Congress will take place during the week of November 7-11, 2021, in the strikingly beautiful city of Sydney, Australia at the International Convention Center Sydney (ICC Sydney), a spectacular location and state of the art facility that opened in 2016 the world-famous Darling Harbour.

Supported by the University of Technology Sydney - Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater, Australian Water Association, the Government of New South Wales, Sydney Water, Sydney Desalination Plant, UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at University of New South Wales, and the Water Services Association of Australia, the 2021 IDA World Congress and exhibition will provide knowledge-sharing and interaction opportunities for participants on a plethora of both technical and business topics, related to the use of desalination and water reuse solutions to ensure a secure water future.

"Team Sydney is very much looking forward to welcoming the IDA and its membership to Australia next year. As a large island nation with many generations of water innovation behind us, we have a unique diversity of experience to share. Our water community is looking forward to networking and collaborating on new solutions with their global peers", Said BESydney CEO Lyn LewisSmith.

The centerpiece of the Congress is its robust Technical Program covering all aspects of desalination and water reuse as solutions to ensure the sustainability of the world's water resources. With more than 300 papers among ten technical topics and multiple subtopics, the Technical Program will explore a broad range of desalination and water reuse technologies, practices, and experiences worldwide. The knowledge-sharing aspect of the program recognizes that resources and requirements can vary based on location, climate conditions, and natural resources.

Through its biennial World Congress and Exhibition, the IDA upholds its global commitment to sustainability and raises awareness of water's value, protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. It is the ideal forum to advance goals that benefit the industry and, more importantly, ensure clean water sources for future generations.
