3 BPAA PRESIDENT S WELCOME Welcome to The 2018 National Water for Health & the Environment Conference. The Backflow Prevention Association of Australia Inc. is proud to bring you one of the most unique water conferences yet seen in Australia. Targeting the health and environmental aspects of water used in commercial, industrial and health industries, the papers and workshops in backflow prevention, trade waste and temperature-controlled water systems will be of interest to anyone involved in water control. The theme of the conference is based around new technologies, new innovations, case studies and workshops. These sessions will attract people from all levels of industry. Connect directly with your target market. This conference offers a unique chance to network and meet prospective clients, catch up with old contacts and identify new opportunities. With an audience of over 100 delegates from all areas of the water supply industry from across Australia and internationally this is a great opportunity to launch new products, create new partnerships, generate new leads and connect with both users and regulators. The event will be two full days of presentations and papers plus a half day of hands-on workshops as well as two specific networking opportunities on the Welcome Function, watching the sunset from the end of the St. Kilda Pier and the Conference Dinner. A table top style exhibition will run for the two full days of the conference and extensive time has been allocated for the delegates to get involved. All catering will be held either in the exhibition area or close by.
