IDA & Affi liates The 2019 IDA World Congress: Crossroads to Sustainability, is just 10 months away. This eagerly anticipated event will take place on 20 to 24 October 2019 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, and will be hosted by the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), a globally- recognised, sustainable, innovative and world-class utility. This will be the International Desalination Association's (IDA) second such event held in Dubai, a decade a er our 2009 Congress took place in this inspiring location. The 2019 gathering is shaping up as setting new standards for the quality of its program, knowledge- sharing opportunities, and level of interaction among delegates, exhibitors, and speakers — which we hope will create an unparalleled experience. Dubai is one of the world's leading international business centres and tourist destinations, and has a reputation as a city of the future. This reputation is refl ected by the city's ultra-modern architecture, and by Dubai's commitment to innovation, latest technology, and forward- thinking infrastructure design. The Emirate's focus on the future and sustainable design make it an ideal location for IDA to present the 2019 World Congress. Dubai is a world leader in the use of desalination to provide a sustainable supply of clean water to its population and economy. DEWA is well known for its commitment to sustainability and best practice; and for its leadership in raising awareness about the importance of rationalising water consumption, protecting the environment, and conserving natural resources. IDA is delighted that DEWA is to host our fl agship event, and that DEWA managing director and chief executive HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, and his team, are providing full support. TECHNICAL PROGRAM The 2019 World Congress Technical Program will explore a broad range of desalination and water reuse technologies, practices, and experiences. It will consist of four concurrent streams that address such topics as: Policy, Finance and Market Challenges Desalination, Water Reuse and Our Wider World Seawater Desalination Brackish Water Desalination Thermal Desalination Algal Blooms: Pre- and Post- treatment Operations and Optimization of the Energy-Water-Waste Nexus Industrial Applications of Desalination and Water Reuse Environmental Considerations Innovation Making Waste Useful Renewable-driven Desalination Seawater Mining EXHIBITION The IDA World Congress exhibition has always been an ideal venue for leading companies from the water industry to showcase their expertise, and to introduce new products and services. For 2019 World Congress, we have situated the exhibition at the centre of all the activities, surrounded by the technical sessions, plenary theatre, dialogue hall, round table session area, lunch room, and networking areas adjacent to the Technical Program. This central location will ensure easy access and an ongoing fl ow of visitors to exhibitor booths. Refreshment breaks will be held in the exhibition hall.
