The IWA Emerging Water Leaders Forum is an event which sets an open platform for young water professionals to connect with their peers from around the world. The Forum is a place to share professional experiences and highlight the critical responsibility of Young Water Professionals (YWPs) working on solutions for the future of water.
The focus of the 2025 editions of the EWL Forum is on equipping the next generation to lead in the face of climate, governance, and capacity challenges, ensuring water systems are resilient, equitable, and future-ready. This theme is leadership-forward and strongly aligned with the Congress’s resilience focus. It emphasises personal and institutional growth, and is ideal for showcasing future-ready skills, inclusive leadership, and big-picture strategic thinking.
The forum is open to all YWPs registered and attending the IWA Water and Development Congress & Exhibition.
