The ACT Water Leaders Dinner & Awards is the highlight of the annual events calendar in the water industry.
This prestigious event celebrates the outstanding achievements of innovative individuals. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends and colleagues across the water sector, to celebrate an industry dedicated to making a difference, and reflect on the past year over a delicious dinner.
We encourage our corporate members to consider the diversity of their invited guests to celebrate the water industry's commitment to positive change, consistently evolving towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
