Aquatech Amsterdam 99% sold out: 1,000+ exhibitors and 25,000 water professionals expected

Thursday, 5 September 2019

Three months before the show Aquatech Global Events announced that Aquatech Amsterdam is now 99 per cent sold out. Especially noteworthy as the show moves to larger halls this year. Over 1,000 exhibitors and 25,000 water professionals are anticipated to visit Amsterdam for a week of networking and knowledge sharing with industry peers. It is a festive edition as the show born in 1964, celebrates 55 years.

Harold Mol, Senior Sales Consultant, says: “I have been working in the exhibition industry for 22 years, but new to Aquatech. Because this is such an important industry, it is a real pleasure and honour to be involved in the world of water. We have had a huge amount of interest from new companies outside Europe, including solutions providers for pumps, membranes, valves and other leading water technology. It’s going to be a truly global show!”

Launching the Innovation Forum
The Monday before the show sees the launch of the Aquatech Innovation Forum with the tagline: Mastering water's digital transformation. Close to 30 speakers have been signed and the first delegates have registered. Spanish solutions provider GoAigua has been confirmed as the 'Headline Sponsor', as well as Sensus, a Xylem brand, as the 'Great Wall' sponsor, Acciona Agua as the 'Breakfast Sponsor' and DuPont Water Solutions as the 'Wi-Fi sponsor'.

Celebrating 55 years
Born in 1964, Aquatech Amsterdam has evolved over the years to feature a wide range of water related products, from pipes and pumps, membranes and metering to water technology solutions. Now 55 years later, the show has built a leading reputation by following the market closely. Over the last editions urban and industrial water were added to the programme as well as resource recovery, desalination, smart metering and more.

Covering every water related topic
Marieke Leenhouts, Exhibition Manager, said: “As well as over 1000 exhibitors and the expected 25,000 visitors, we are offering a rich content programme during the week in Amsterdam. A key part of the exhibition are the multiple, themed pavilions, showcasing diverse and engaging content.”

The theme pavilions include the Industrial User Experience, powered by Wetsus addressing the oil & gas, food and beverage, chemical and energy sectors. There is also the Smart Water Networks Pavilion (powered by SWAN), BlueTech Research Innovation Pavilion, Desalination Pavilion (powered by EDS) and Pumps & Process plaza.
