Amanda Barnes, publisher of Utility Week magazine, Water and Wastewater Treatment Magazine, and Faversham House chief executive, said: “Utility Week Live 2016 builds on the success of the inaugural 2015 show. We’ve listened to our event stakeholders, including utility companies who send their staff along, sponsors and exhibitors, and the industry associations we’ve partnered with, and have switched to a highly focussed two-day format.

“It offers professionals working in the utilities industries the chance discover the latest innovations and product solutions, and exchange cutting-edge ideas on the strategic, operational and technical side of their businesses. Visitors will meet peers, partners and suppliers, and gain invaluable knowledge from industry leaders in the CPD-accredited live content programmes, plus the pitching sessions, technical demonstrations and networking opportunities.

“Brand new show features include the Pumping Station, Streetworks Village, the Networks Zone focussing on gas, heat and electricity, together with a Water Dragons heat on the show floor, plus the ever popular Drilling and Tapping Competition and the Innovation Zone organised in partnership with the Energy Innovation Centre.”
