H2O - ACCADUEO

H2O - ACCADUEO is an established international trade fair and conference, uniquely focused on the civil and industrial water supply chain. Operating for over 30 years, it is recognized as Italy's first and only exhibition of its kind. The 19th edition in 2026 will be held in Bari, continuing its tradition of alternating between Bari in even-numbered years and Bologna in odd-numbered years. The event serves as a vital platform for professionals addressing challenges and innovations within the water sector.

Exhibitors at H2O - ACCADUEO showcase solutions across key areas including water treatment and purification, wastewater and stormwater management, water reuse and desalination, and digital applications like AI and smart metering. Other critical topics covered are loss reduction in water distribution networks, sludge management, aqueduct operations, trenchless technologies, and emerging contaminants. The event attracts companies, utilities, institutions, and research professionals, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.

The comprehensive conference program is overseen by a Technical Scientific Committee, comprising 10 representatives from academia, regulatory bodies, and industry, including ANBI, ISTAT, and the Italian Ministry for the Environment. This ensures high-quality content relevant to the water sector's evolving needs. With more than 40 companies already registered for the 2026 edition (as of April 2026), H2O - ACCADUEO remains a crucial gathering for advancing the water industry.
