Further to the success of our first
Executive Value Network (EVN) for Water and Waste Water last year, we are excited to invite you to our second EVN for Water and Waste Water, this time hosted by
Vivaqua, the water company for the City of Brussels on
June 18th and 19th 2019 together with
our Partner Capgemini!
The Focus is on You
Looking for an open and interactive networking forum where you can discuss industry-related topics with your peers? Then you definitely will not want to miss this great opportunity for connecting with the water community – it is a chance to mingle and exchange ideas with customers, experts and thought leaders about business strategy and challenges.
While we are keeping the same networking goals and format as last year, we have dedicated this year focus on selective and innovative topics such as
Intelligent Operation Control Centre (iOCC),
IoT Smart Metering Platforms,
Circular Economy and Water Treatment & Recovery and
Spatial Data (GIS) Integration.
Our host
Vivaqua will open
Day One and will talk about
Sewage Heat Recovery from the sewer network.
Farys TMVW will share their extensive experience on
IT Agility in Delivering Business Demands, followed by an Q&A session (combined with an interactive survey on attendees expectations).

how can water companies invest in innovation
