Welcome to the 2025 UK & I Water Community Indaba
We’re thrilled to invite you to the 2025 UK & I Water Community Indaba, hosted by Uisce Éireann at their head office in central Dublin. This year, we’re expanding the forum into a two-day event—blending Copperleaf-focused collaboration with wider industry knowledge sharing.
The Indaba is more than just an event—it’s a space where peers across the UK and Ireland can share learnings, explore innovative solutions, and connect around common challenges.
A Note from Our Hosts
“We see this Indaba event as a wonderful opportunity to learn and share our experience with our UK and Ireland colleagues. In particular, we are keen to build peer-to-peer relationships with our counterparts across the industry to enhance our asset management and investment planning knowledge and practice.”
Steve Seymour, Head of Asset Management, Uisce Éireann
“Day 2 of the event will cover a broader agenda of knowledge sharing and discussion on a range of topics outside of Copperleaf. One of Uisce Éireann’s core values is We Work Better Together, so we are keen to live that value by learning from and sharing best practice with the best and brightest in the industry.”
Niall Tuke, AIP Business Owner, Uisce Éireann
