DELEGATE AND (FREE) VISITOR REGISTRATION

 

Join us on March 25th - 26th at the Bendigo Showgrounds to connect with water operations professionals across Australia at the 2026 WIOA VIC Conference & Exhibition.

 

This is where real-world experience meets fresh ideas, with plenty to see, do, and learn. WIOA events offer industry-leading value and remain one of the most affordable professional conferences available to water operations professionals. Whether you're an industry veteran or just starting your career, this is the perfect event to deepen your expertise, create lasting business connections, and uncover cutting-edge solutions. Stay ahead of the latest trends, discover new suppliers, and gain insights into the most recent industry developments.


Event Highlights

 

  • Real stories, real solutions - Access to presentations built around what’s been trialed, tested and proven to work in real-world operations
  • Meet the Exhibitors Dinner – Mingle and network with fellow exhibitors and delegates during our relaxed evening of canapes and drinks, all while enjoying some light entertainment.
  • IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water Competition – Put your taste buds to the test and vote for the freshest, cleanest, best-tasting water in the state. 
  • Reece Civil + Viadux Main Tapping Competition – Watch skilled teams go head-to-head, installing valves under pressure (literally) in this competitive showcase of speed, precision, and top-tier skills. 
  • 2026 VIC Awards Dinner – Swap the hi-vis for something a bit sharper and celebrate the standout people and projects driving our industry forward. Expect good food, cold drinks, top entertainment, and a great night out. 

One of the best parts of the WIOA Conference is the people you’ll meet. It’s a chance to connect with operators, technicians, scientists, managers, suppliers and directors from right across the water industry. People who understand the challenges of the job and share the same passion for doing it well.

 

Whether you’re catching up over a coffee, chatting on the expo floor, or meeting new faces at one of the social events, you’ll build genuine connections that last long after the conference is over.
