AWA consulted widely across the water sector and held its first education conference in January 2004. Since then, AWA has successfully run 2 more education conferences which have been widely supported by members of the Water Education Network.

Education is now recognized across the water sector as a key component and tool for sustainable water management. To facilitate networking, professional development and the sharing of ideas, AWA convenes a national biennial conference with a focus on the most relevant issues for water educators and enthusiasts.
