Kevin Wellman, Chief Executive Officer at the CIPHE, said: “The World Plumbing Conference 2026 will bring together some of the brightest minds and leading global experts in the sector to share their insights on the matters impacting the plumbing industry.
“This is an opportunity to showcase the UK and its best practices on an international stage, while also learning from others tackling the same challenges around the world.
“It’s the first time since 1990 that the conference will be held in England, and we’re determined to make it a memorable and meaningful event for everyone involved. With such a strong line-up of speakers already confirmed, it’s shaping up to be a truly world-class occasion.”
