Kevin Wellman, chief executive officer at the CIPHE, said: “The World Plumbing Conference in 2026 will be the first time that the event is held in England since 1990, and we’re bringing the wow factor. We have some top-level speakers booked in already, and there are many more to come. We look forward to welcoming our colleagues from overseas, and discussing Worldwide Problems – Global Solutions.”
