2025 IWMA Conference Programme Announced

The 24th International Water Mist Conference, hosted by the International Water Mist Association (IWMA), will take place in Manchester, UK, on 24th and 25th September and the official programme for the event has been announced.

The programme, which features a manifoldness of topics, can be viewed at the official IWMA website event page here.

“More than 25 speakers from around the world will talk about marine and land-based applications, research, component innovation as well as statistics that prove water mist to be a reliable technology”, says Bettina McDowell, CEO at IWMA.

Max Lakkonen, IWMA President, adds: Whether you are a fire safety expert, an engineer, an installer, a researcher, an insurer, or work for an authority having jurisdiction, this is the must-attend event of 2025.”

One of the highlights will be the bestowal of the Ragnar Wighus Award 2025 (Ph.D.). IWMA has been awarding young scientists who dedicate their theses to water mist technology since 2016.

Two further highlights will be a panel discussion and the exhibition which will – as tradition has it – run alongside the event.
