The UK wastewater sector faces rising regulatory demands and a heavier investment agenda. WWT Wastewater 2027 takes place on 26 and 27 January 2027 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham and gathers over 250 senior wastewater professionals.
Practical information for WWT Wastewater 2027
The conference runs across two days at the National Exhibition Centre. Organisers publish sponsorship materials and an exhibitor guide. New formats introduced for 2027 aim to tighten engagement between senior utility leaders and solution providers.
Key figures and audience profile
The event targets more than 250 attendees, includes over 12 content sessions and features 40 plus industry expert speakers. The programme lists representatives from 12 UK WASCs and around 27 exhibitors. Those metrics frame where to focus commercial outreach during the event.
Agenda themes and technical focus
Topics scheduled include wastewater treatment and optimisation, phosphorus removal, sludge and biosolids management, stormwater and combined sewer overflow reduction, water recycling and reuse, nature based solutions, catchment management, FOG control, asset management, carbon reduction, climate resilience, contaminants and micropollutants and bathing water quality. Sessions are designed to link digital tools with operational practices.
Interaction formats and new offerings
A new feature for 2027 is Wastewater Circles, small outcome oriented workshops that pair senior wastewater leaders with solution providers to tackle particular challenges. Sponsorship and exhibition packages are available for companies offering technologies across treatment, monitoring and resource recovery.
Preparing your B2B outreach for Birmingham
- Define target contacts. The programme history shows participation from utilities such as Scottish Water, Yorkshire Water, Northern Ireland Water, Northumbrian Water, Ofwat and Thames Water which helps prioritise outreach.
- Obtain the sponsor brochure and the exhibitor list to schedule meetings during the two days.
- Tailor technical messages to the session themes. Vendors focused on phosphorus removal or biosolids should prepare concise performance metrics.
- Plan short demos and one page summaries that highlight operational savings and carbon reductions.
- Use Wastewater Circles to present a specific problem and collect direct feedback from utility leaders.
