AWA Ozwater History
A Proud History

Formerly known as the Federal Convention held for the first time in 1964, Ozwater has grown to be Australia’s premier water conference. 

The program of speakers, papers, and workshops is developed by and for people working with water to support water excellence, networking opportunities and international engagement. 

The annual three-day, multi-stream conference is complemented by 200+ exhibitors making up the largest water exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere.

Adelaide Convention Centre

The 2025 theme, "Looking back, moving forward," invites us to reflect on the past while embracing a future where water is central to sustainable growth. At Ozwater'25, we will harness the invaluable historical and contemporary knowledge of our diverse and passionate communities to guide our progress in the water sector. Our focus will be on valuing water—from sustainable resources to resilient services that nurture healthy, thriving communities.
