About this event
The Water Summit, run by Economist Enterprise (part of The Economist Group), is a one-day meeting in London for leaders across the water value chain. Its second edition, themed "Under pressure: making water a boardroom imperative", argues that water strategy can no longer be left to governments and utilities as industrial demand rises, and focuses on managing climate risk, funding infrastructure and cutting water use in operations.
Who attends
Industrial water users from water-intensive sectors such as manufacturing, chemicals, mining, food and drink and technology, alongside utilities, investors and financiers, regulators and government, and technology providers.
Formats
Panels and applied case studies on water resilience, pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, and the invitation-only Water Leaders Club for 100 senior executives focused on water security.
