BOSTON, Mass. – After close consultation with Australian Government partners and based on the government's vaccination and border reopening four-stage plan, the 2022 IDA World Congress scheduled for May 29-June 2, 2022 has been postponed.

The new date is October 9-13, 2022, to ensure an in-person event and protect our community's health and safety. Accordingly, IDA has modified the extended abstract submission deadline to February 15, 2022. The Congress remains in Sydney, Australia, at the International Convention Center (ICC Sydney).

"We can't wait to welcome the world's leading minds on water desalination and reuse to Sydney next year, as borders reopen, and our international visitors once again return. Our water community is certainly looking forward to networking and collaborating on new water solutions face to face with their global peers", said BESydney CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith.
