The 2nd Stormwater and Wastewater Conference – Saudi Arabia 2025, taking place on 23–24 June at Hilton Jeddah, stands as a strategic platform to address the Kingdom’s pressing water management needs amid rapid urban development and escalating climate challenges. Building on the success of its inaugural edition, this high-impact forum reinforces Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the National Water Strategy, both of which prioritize sustainable and integrated water resource management.
As urbanization accelerates and climate variability intensifies, Saudi Arabia faces increasing risks from flash floods, water scarcity, and aging infrastructure. This conference will convene over 250 key stakeholders, including senior officials from government agencies, municipal authorities, regulatory bodies, water utilities, infrastructure developers, consultants, and technology providers. The goal: to foster actionable dialogue, share technical expertise, and accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions in stormwater and wastewater management.
The two-day program features expert-led sessions, technical presentations, and strategic panel discussions, addressing vital topics such as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), decentralized wastewater treatment, flood risk mitigation, and the use of digital and smart technologies to improve system efficiency and resilience. A special emphasis will be placed on the integration of nature-based solutions and the role of digital transformation in reshaping water infrastructure.
This year’s edition will also highlight Saudi Arabia’s multi-billion-dollar investments in water infrastructure, including major upgrades to treatment facilities, drainage systems, and urban planning frameworks. The forum will showcase cutting-edge innovations, successful case studies, and scalable models—offering valuable insights into public-private partnership (PPP) opportunities and the commercial potential of the sector.
In addition to technical content, the conference will offer policy dialogues, interactive workshops, and collaborative roundtables, designed to strengthen inter-agency coordination and regional cooperation. Discussions will address regulatory frameworks, emerging contaminants, water reuse, resource recovery, and the importance of building a circular water economy that supports long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
The event’s focus on both local and global expertise makes it a unique opportunity for stakeholders to gain strategic foresight, establish new partnerships, and contribute to the Kingdom’s water resilience journey. Participants will benefit from direct engagement with decision-makers and industry innovators, while exploring opportunities for market entry, investment, and collaboration.
By fostering dialogue and driving innovation, the 2nd Stormwater and Wastewater Conference – Saudi Arabia 2025 aims to be more than just an event—it’s a catalyst for building a resilient, adaptive, and sustainable future for water management in the Kingdom. Whether you’re involved in policy, engineering, research, or technology, this forum offers a comprehensive platform to align with national goals, address urban water challenges, and support the transformation of Saudi Arabia’s water sector.
