We are proud to invite you to celebrate our unparalleled (more than 40 years) history at our 40th conference hosted at home with us in Loughborough. The title reflects the WEDC conference vision and ambition — to learn from our shared experiences, and achievements to support the sustainable delivery of local WASH services through international cooperation. The week includes three days to discuss and debate peer reviewed content, followed by two days of tailored capacity development workshops. Our programme structure incorporates a variety of innovative presentation and learning formats, which readily enable networking and facilitate collective learning. Typically attracting participants from research, practice and policy communities across more than 40 countries, this is truly a unique international event.
