Delivering projects. Securing supply. Building the future of water.
New Civil Engineer is excited for the return of its water focused event in 2026, the NCE Water event will bring together the whole sector for an exciting day of networking and learning.
The conference will be collocated with the NCE Flood Resilience conference enabling you to network and learn across the flood and water sector all on one day.
Join us on 29 April in London to explore the future of the UK Water sector and gain exclusive insight into the most exciting projects, client pipelines and government strategy.
Unless direct and immediate action is taken, the UK will be facing a water shortage by 2050 (Environment Agency). With climate change and population increases to contend with, the water industry has been set challenging targets by Ofwat for the AMP8 period.
We are delighted for the return of a forum for the industry’s thought leaders at a pivotal time for the sector. The NCE Water will be bringing together senior level representatives from water companies, engineering, construction as well as government and regulatory bodies.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join us for a full day of discussion and debate around how these tough objectives are to be achieved.
