Pullman Melbourne On The Park
Join the Young Water Professionals in Melbourne in August 2026 to explore how to align innovative solutions to real challenges faced by communities, and how to shape policies that respond to genuine needs both now and into the future.
The water sector is full of bold ideas and inspiring visions for a sustainable future. However, visions alone aren’t enough, we need inspiring professionals to turn them into reality. The 2026 Young Water Professionals Conference theme, From Vision to Action, focuses on bridging the gap between ambition and implementation. Young Water Professionals are the future pillars of the water sector and have the responsibility to drive meaningful change today, for an inclusive and resilient water future tomorrow. From climate resilience to digital transformation, community engagement to emerging leaders, this conference is about realising these big dreams through highlighting practical actions that build off the wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives in the water sector.
