WWEM & AQE PREVIEW


WWEM AND AQE 2024 MOVE TO THE NEC and 10th


Taking place on the 9th


October, O


WWEM and AQE offer the opportunity to speak with the world’s leading manufacturers of environmental monitoring technology n the 9th


and 10th October, the UK’s


largest environmental monitoring event will move to the NEC in


Birmingham. Organiser Marcus Pattison says: “If you are involved with environmental monitoring, attendance is pretty much compulsory. In recent years, opportunities to meet people in the flesh have been dramatically limited by COVID and the new emphasis on home-working. “WWEM and AQE will fix that, enabling visitors to learn about the latest regulations, methods, standards, techniques and technologies in just two days. More importantly, it will provide a much-needed opportunity to meet experts and peers to discuss a wide range of environmental monitoring issues, and to see the latest equipment. Registrations have been greater than for any previous event, so 2024 promises to be the best WWEM and AQE ever!” By moving to the NEC, visitors to AQE and WWEM will benefit from significantly better, and more sustainable transport options. The NEC has easy access to Birmingham International railway station and airport, as well as bus and coach networks. Entry to both events is free of charge to pre-registered visitors – registering for either event provides access to both – visit https://www.ilmexhibitions.com/ to pick an event and register.


WWEM – Water, Wastewater & Environmental Monitoring With water companies seeking record funds to invest in water infrastructure, and with the relationship between wastewater and pollution headlining the media on an almost daily basis, the public, media and political focus on water and wastewater has not been greater since the Great Stink of 1858. WWEM 2024 will have the highest number of exhibitors and the most expansive conference program of any WWEM so far, so visitors can expect to see the entire sector in one place. Focusing on the regulations, standards and methods that relate to water testing, monitoring, analysis and related services, WWEM 2024 has been designed to meet the

needs of water sector professionals. These include, for example, regulators, consultants, instrumentation engineers, laboratory staff, process operators, researchers and interested stakeholders such as river trusts, lobbyists, journalists and citizen scientists. With over 200 of the industry’s leading technology and service providers gathered in one place, there will no better opportunity to learn about the latest developments and compare products through face-to-face interaction with water sector experts. Beyond the exhibition floor, the conference schedule is fully packed with over 100 hours of free technical workshops and presentations delivered by regulators, researchers, citizen scientists and technicians from industry, including many from UK water companies. Visitors will be provided with access to a wide range of highly topical presentations, covering issues such as Environment Act Section 82 river water quality monitoring, digitalisation, compliance monitoring, flow, level and pressure monitoring, technology innovation, automation and environmental design.


AQE - Air Quality & Emissions The first AQE event (then known as MCERTS) took place in 2002 and was initially focused on helping industrial processes to comply with new emissions monitoring regulations and standards. Since that time, the show has expanded to include ambient air quality and those emissions that have an impact on climate change. AQE 2024, in common with its watery sibling, will also feature more exhibitors and more presentations than ever before. The health effects of air pollution, combined with the climate effects of greenhouse gases, are increasing public, media and political attention on the measurement of air quality and emissions. At the same time, technological advances are helping to find new insights into


pollution mitigation, and AQE will provide attendees with the latest information on the regulations, standards, methods and technologies that can help in the fight against air pollution and climate change. AQE 2024 has been designed to meet the needs of anyone involved with air quality and emissions reduction. This includes, for example, regulators, local authorities, consultants, instrumentation engineers, laboratory staff, process operators, engine and powertrain developers, researchers and interested stakeholders such as clean air campaigners. In the past, air quality monitoring was dominated by networks of accurate, precise, high-cost reference grade air quality monitoring stations. Today, these networks are being supplemented by vast numbers of small, low-powered, low-cost air quality monitors that have enabled continuous monitoring at a hyperlocal scale. As a result, it has become possible to detect pollution hotspots and accurately assess the effects of mitigation measures such as traffic control and low emission zones. The manufacturers of these new technologies will be presenting case studies and answering questions on their exhibition booths, so that air quality professionals can choose the equipment that best meets their needs.
