Building on the extraordinary success of its previous congress in Antalya 2007, the IHA Congress 2009 will be open and interactive. It will bring together leaders from government, civil society and industry.

Thought-provoking exchanges will focus on modern water, energy and climate policies, followed by discussion on markets and investment, culminating on the sector's progressive sustainability initiatives.

IHA will offer a one day networking tour on 23 June and a two day post-Congress tour, offering insights into the country's hydro and geothermal development as well as Iceland's unique scenic and historical attractions.

Some very special evening events round off the programme - Whale watching, dinner at the Blue Lagoon and a Congress banquet will offer an exciting backdrop for your networking agenda.
