Water Management Congress is expected to be held in February 2007, drawing 150 delegates who will be decision makers in various stages of project development of water management. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet investment companies to discuss multibillion dollar projects, and explore small or medium-sized investment opportunities.

High-level delegations will participate in interactive panel discussions, controversial debates and keynote presentations. Participants will stay in Raffles the Plaza and Raffles Hotel. Each delegate is selected after careful pre-qualification. The Congress will focus on global practices for improved water management, one-to-one prescheduled meetings between high-level solution providers and delegates to give them the opportunity to exchange know-how, talk about the characteristics of the water-management market and present information about their firms. There will be networking breakfasts, lunches, dinners and a champagne reception.
