NWWC 2021
Going Virtual
January 11 – February 3, 2022
This is CWWA’s flagship event and THE national conference for Canada’s water leaders.
We attract over 500 delegates from Canada’s water utilities, our private sector partners, provincial and federal governments, academia and the not-for-profit sectors.
While CWWA has hosted specialized events for over 30 years, this ‘consolidated’ event has merged all of the former events into ONE, all-encompassing national event focused on what the senior water manager needs to know.
This annual conference offers a wide-ranging technical program covering almost all aspects of the municipal water sector, while offering the best networking environment for Canada’s water leaders.
As THE national conference for the water utility sector, this event offers the best opportunity for sponsorship and exhibiting your products and services to Canada’s most senior water managers.
The 2021 event will be hosted virtual. We’re still working with our technical committees to figure out exactly how that will look, but we guarantee it’ll be the excellent technical content you’re used to seeing from CWWA.
We are planning on hosting webinars every Tuesday and Thursday from January 11 – February 3, 2022. Topics will be varied, allowing delegates to tune in to just the events they are interested in. Registration and more information on topics, scheduling and sponsorship will be coming soon.
In the meantime members are invited to watch recordings from our 2020 NWWC webinar series.
Window On Ottawa
June 8-10,2021
The “Window” is CWWA’s signature policy workshop.
Window on Ottawa is CWWA’s signature event focused on federal water policy. It is a unique event where you learn about everything you ever wanted to know about water at the federal level…and were afraid to ask.
The most senior national policymakers from each federal department and agency are invited to the event—not to tell us what they’ve already released, but to tell us what they’re working on now and what is coming next.
The Window on Ottawa is a fascinating forum to engage with these policymakers at a very early stage and leave with an understanding of what to expect as a water leader.
CWWA will continue its collaboration with Water Canada in 2021. In conjunction with the Canadian Water Summit, sessions of the Window on Ottawa will be taking place on June 8-10, 2021 in Ottawa, Ontario.
Canadian Water Summit:
In addition to multiple keynote speakers and plenary discussions, we are streamlining the content for our concurrent sessions to better complement the interests of our attendees. There will be three concurrent sessions (two in the afternoon on June 10, 2021 and one in the morning on June 11, 2021), which will follow these six overlapping themes:
- Drinking Water
- Wastewater
- Stormwater
- Policy
- Projects
- Innovation
Each water category (drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater) will feature one session each of three secondary themes (policy, projects, and innovation).
The specific topics for the concurrent streams, as well as the keynote speakers and plenary panel discussions, will be announced in the weeks and months leading up to the Summit.
CWWA Workshops & Webinars
Much of our work is very specialized within specific streams that require a focus on specialized topics. Learning and information sharing can sometimes be best achieved though workshops.
In an effort to reach more of our members, and allow more to access critical information in an affordable and timely manner, we will be offering more webinars and electronically-accessed workshops.
