A Global Event with Regional Focus
The Water and Development Congress & Exhibition attracts water professionals from all regions of
the globe to discuss the challenges and solutions for the critical water issues affecting all global
regions. The host country and broader West Asia and North Africa region provide an intriguing
backdrop for the conference, both in terms of shared agendas with the rest of the world, and specific
characteristics that make the region a challenging environment for water management. This is the
global event on water in developing and emerging economies.
