Digital Water Symposium
Building a digital spine for the water sector

 

Water companies are reaching a perfect storm of aging infrastructure, poor visibility of assets and mounting regulatory and public pressure.

Traditional approaches are no longer sufficient to meet these challenges. Indeed, they open the sector up to significant operational, financial, and reputational risks. To succeed, water companies must establish strong digital foundations: connecting teams, aligning asset information, and ensuring a joined-up digital thread is developed, maintained and leveraged throughout the entire asset lifecycle, from planning to design, construction, and operation.

There is a recognition from water companies that these digital foundations must ultimately spread across the supply chain but first the industry must get its own house in order. Too often  design teams, capital delivery vehicles (internal and external), modelling engineers, asset managers, and operational decision makers using digital tools in a siloed and disjointed way.

The Digital Water Symposium, hosted by Utility Week in partnership with Autodesk, brings together decision makers across the full asset lifecycle to explore what it takes to build this digital spine within their businesses.

At this invite-only exclusive event taking place in London, we will discover how connected digital ecosystems can unlock efficiency and resilience, anticipate challenges, adapt to climate risks, and help deliver sustainable performance for growing communities.

The water sector stands at a turning point. To deliver for customers and the environment, it must embrace shared digital infrastructure as the foundation of investment, innovation, and trust. The Digital Water Symposium will be a platform for honest conversation, practical learning, and collaborative action to make that transformation possible.
