October 13, 2020, Boston, MA – Today, IDRA announced the exhibition booking platform’s opening for the 2021 IDRA World Congress. Returning to Australia after eleven years, the World Congress will take place during the week of November 7-11, 2021, in beautiful Sydney at the International Convention Centre (ICC). ICC offers a spectacular location and state of the art facility that opened in 2016 at the world-famous Darling Harbour.
With the support of the Government of New South Wales, BESydney, Australia Tourism, Sydney Water, University of Technology Sydney – Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater, Australian Water Association, Sydney Desalination Plant, UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at University of New South Wales, and the Water Services Association of Australia, the Congress will bring together professionals from the global desalination, water reuse, and renewable energy sectors.
Desalination and water reuse technologies provide resilient solutions to efficiently meet the growing demand for water and threats to water security. “Through its biennial World Congress and Exhibition, the IDRA upholds its global commitment to raise awareness of water’s value and conserve precious natural water resources by promoting desalination, water reuse, and recycling solutions. The IDRA World Congress is an ideal forum to network and share knowledge to ensure water sustainability for future generations,” said Shannon McCarthy, IDRA Secretary General.
The exhibit floor plan will be the Congress’s epicenter offering easy access to four days of technical sessions, high-level plenary sessions, a Leaders Summit, business discussions, academy courses, and networking events.
