YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS OUR BIGGEST WWEM AND AQE EVER!


On the 9th and 10th of October this year at The NEC in Birmingham, WWEM and AQE 2024 will bring together suppliers, regulators, and researchers to advance collaboration in the environmental monitoring sectors. Our biggest event yet, with the most exhibitors and the most expansive conference programme, WWEM and AQE 2024 promises to be an unparalleled opportunity to foster new connections, strengthen existing partnerships and glimpse the future of our industry.


fl ooding, biodiversity and air quality. One researcher from the University of Sheffi eld will showcase outcomes from the Pipebots project, which attempted to develop autonomous robotic inspection for buried sewers and clean water pipes. Another discusses a trial using remote earth observation techniques, like satellite- based synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which locates leaks using backscatter signals from microwave exposure to identify wet soil and wastewater’s signature. Using the cellular communications network as an air quality monitoring network will be discussed by a representative from Vodafone.


networks. Learn the latest methodologies for gas detection. Harness artifi cial intelligence and machine learning to solve your big data challenges. Expand your understanding of monitoring odours, TOCs, mercury, PM2.5, fi ne dust, and PFAS in air. Be the fi rst to glimpse what emissions monitoring regimes will look as the energy transition progresses, with presentations on hydrogen fuel as well as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). Learn about the innovative initiatives seeking to address the skills defi cit in the water industry. Hear about the latest developments in telemetry, automation and cyber-security. Stay ahead of the regulations on fl ow, level, spills and storm monitoring, stay up-to-date with monitoring for Section 82 of the Environment Act, and stay compliant with regulations on pathogens, pollutants and emerging chemicals of concern, including phosphates, ammonia, and E. coli. Experience the cutting- edge of air quality and emissions monitoring technologies, with presentations on thermal desorption cavity ringdown spectroscopy (TD-CRDS) and multi-scale sensor integration. See how today’s river water and ambient air quality models are delivering insights for industry. From the theoretical and academic to the practical and commercial, WWEM and AQE 2024 will undoubtably widen your horizons and help you to stay competitive in this rapidly changing industry.


Over nearly two decades of continual evolution, WWEM has continually evolved over two decades into the leading water and wastewater monitoring event in the UK. With over 200 of the industry’s top suppliers gathered in one place, there is no better chance to compare products and source new instruments through face- to-face interaction that can save months of outreach – to get a head start, take a look through the exhibitor list on the following page! Beyond the exhibition fl oor, our conference schedule is fully packed with over 100 hours of free technical workshops and presentations, delivered by regulators, accreditation bodies, standards committees, researchers, citizen scientists and technicians from industry. To look over the full schedule, visit the websites for either WWEM (www.ilmexhibitions.com/ wwem) and AQE (www.ilmexhibitions.com/aqeshow).


In these rooms, with speakers from the Environment Agency, many of the major water companies, the Rivers Trust, the National Physical Laboratory, and DEFRA (among many others), you will fi nd talks and discussions fi lled with up-to- the-minute information and expert insight. Get to know the most advanced methods, reporting practices, validation protocols, standards and regulations for monitoring methane emissions. Explore how new digital platforms can help manage storm overfl ows and asset maintenance. Update your knowledge on emissions monitoring standards, like CEN, ISO and MCERTS, and the assessment of uncertainties. Take a tour around the UK’s air quality monitoring


WWEM 2024 | 9TH - 10TH OCTOBER


There will be plenty of presentations on recent case studies to provide some practical ideas that can be implemented within your solutions. A few speakers will detail novel experiments in getting to zero spills, including trials run by Severn Trent Water. Another speaker will discuss developments in the Forth Environmental Resilience Array, a living laboratory providing environmental data and analytics to promote more effi cient environmental management, including


To shine a light on some of the most important developments in the sector, awards will be handed out for the environmental monitoring sector’s most innovative product and service, best partnership, as well as for achievements in network monitoring – in fact, for the fi rst time ever, visitors can vote for this year’s nominees on our website. Alongside, the Sensors for Water Interest Group (SWIG) will be awarding the winner of their Early Career Researcher Poster Competition at WWEM 2024, bringing attention to the best new research and solutions and offering a completely unique opportunity to get a taste of what’s next for the sector. Each of the three fi nalists will deliver presentations on their projects and posters detailing their work will be displayed for visitors to read at any time at designated areas within the exhibition hall. All of these awards will be presented during WWEM 2024’s gala party, which will be held in the evening of the event’s fi rst day (9th October) at the Vox Venue within the NEC Campus.


There’s no doubt about it: WWEM and AQE 2024 promises to be the UK’s most important environmental monitoring event since 2022. Whether you’re a laboratory technician, a process operator, an instrument user, an environmental manager, a regulator, a policymaker, a consultant or a researcher, WWEM and AQE 2024 offers valuable insights and networking opportunities for everyone doing any sort of work in the sector. A celebration of industry excellence, a forum for the most pressing issues and our most extensive exhibition, don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to learn, network and be the fi rst to learn where the sector will go next.


Registration is now open and is absolutely free of charge! All visitors to either WWEM or AQE will have total access to both co-located events. Just head to our website to get registered today for the environmental sector’s most unmissable events!
