The 2022 IDA World Congress and Exhibition will provide knowledge-sharing and interaction for participants on a plethora of both technical and business topics, related to the use of desalination and water reuse solutions to ensure a secure water future. The Congress centerpiece is its robust Technical Program covering all aspects of desalination and water reuse as solutions to ensure water sustainability. With more than 300 papers among ten technical topics and multiple sub-topics, the Technical Program will explore a broad range of desalination and water reuse technologies, practices, and experiences worldwide. The program's knowledge-sharing aspect recognizes that resources and requirements can vary based on location, climate conditions, and natural resources. New to the World Congress is the IDA Innovation Forum, a pitch-based competition limited to eight teams with a monetary award.
The event was initially scheduled for Nov. 7–11, 2021, but organizers rescheduled it due to health and safety concerns related to COVID-19.
