As part of ISH 2025, which is expecting around 2,000 exhibitors from all over the world in Frankfurt am Main from 17th to 21st March, the ‘Value of Water’ conference on 17th and 18th March 2025 will address the most important topics relating to global water management, hygiene and sanitation.
As an independent forum within the framework of ISH – the world's leading trade fair for HVAC and water – and with Handelsblatt Media Group as a partner curating the conference programme, Messe Frankfurt says this conference promises to bring together the brightest minds to tackle the global water crisis.
Offering a global platform, the conference will present and discuss proven strategies, innovations and best practices in water management, sanitation and hygiene related to buildings and infrastructure. Through thoughtful dialogue and collaborative engagement, the conference is seeking to accelerate progress towards achieving sustainable and equitable water solutions worldwide. The vision of the expert meeting point is to elevate water sustainability as a critical agenda item within the HVAC, water and building industry, empowering businesses to recognize their unique opportunities to drive meaningful impact through collaboration and innovation.
ISH, which takes place every 2 years, recorded a high level of internationality in 2023. According to the organisers, 72% of international exhibitors took part and 44% of visitors travelled to Frankfurt from abroad. Trade visitors include experts from the sanitation, heating and air conditioning sectors, as well as players from the property and housing industry. Scientists, researchers, decision-makers, municipal representatives and international delegations are also part of the target group. In addition, the event offers important impulses for building owners and operators, urban planners, architects and project developers from development organisations, NGOs and institutions.
