During the Stockholm World Water Week the Amsterdam International Water Week will host an AIWW Meet and Greet in the Holland Pavilion on Monday 26 August from 18.00 hours till 19.30 hours.
Bianca Nijhof, member of the Managing Board AIWW and Managing Director NWP, will host the event. Join and meet the AIWW Community at the Holland Pavilion in Stockholm.
On Sunday the 3rd of November, just a day before the Amsterdam International Water Week gets under way, a special public event will be held to help launch the week. Organised by the Future Water Leaders, the public event will promote AIWW and build wider awareness of the important themes and issues to be covered.
When the thousands of participants in Amsterdam International Water Week 2019 arrive later this year, they will have the future in mind – future challenges, future opportunities. But in joining the fifth edition of AIWW, marking its ten-year anniversary, they will be invited to glance back too. “We are going to celebrate – we have achieved a lot,” says Menno Holterman, Chair of the Managing Board of AIWW and CEO of Nijhuis Industries.
The AIWW Conference organisation has taken the initiative to organise a session on ‘the governance agenda of Climate and Water Resilient Cities 2030’, during the international conference Up Close and Liveable on Friday 21 June, 2019 in Amsterdam.
The session aims to rethink the institutional approach to ‘resilient, sustainable and inclusive society’ in water system management, in order to make cities more climate and water resilient.
‘The AIWW Conference brings together topnotch specialists in the field, and is to be considered among the three leading network and ‘solutions oriented’ events in the world.’ According to PAC member Arjan van Timmeren, this is the main reason why you must attend the AIWW Conference on 4 and 5 November in Amsterdam.
Being a great ambassador for our AIWW Conference we asked Arjan to give his view on the AIWW Conference 2019 themes and topics.
Finance is an important cross-cutting theme at the AIWW Conference in November. Finance means adding value to something. The true value of water is something that is not always recognised.
On Friday 7 June, Bianca Nijhof, Managing Director Netherlands Water Partnership, and member of the Managing Board of the Amsterdam International Water Week, is one of the speakers during the session on ‘Valuing the precious’, held at the SIWW Spotlight series in Singapore 6 and 7 June 2019.
She will address this topic using end-user cases to make a concrete connection between the Valuing Water Initiative, a public-private initiative to put the recommendations of the High Level Panel on Water into action, and the Natural Capital Coalition’s Protocol.

During the AIWW Summit Patrick Verkooijen, CEO Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA), mentioned the need for scale up and speed up to meet he challenges on climate adaptation. GCA will work on that, in close collaboration with the AIWW Global Community, and present results at the Climate Adaptation Action Summit in 2020. Finally he announced that the progress on the water related action tracks will be discussed at the AIWW Conference 2019.
We know the impact of climate change on the water sector pretty well and how necessary it is to move towards the circular economy. Now is the time to match cases and solutions.
That is why the main theme of the Amsterdam International Water Week (AIWW) 2019 Conference is highly topical: ‘Implementation of integrated solutions by cities, industries, utilities and financiers: from cases to bankable projects’.
The call for content is now open. Kees van der Lugt, AIWW’s programme director, challenges the international water world.
