Reimagining Sanitation Systems for Inclusive and Sustainable Future.
Building on the first IWA NSS Conference held in Johannesburg in 2023, ICNSS 2026 brings the global sanitation community together to exchange evidence, technologies, policy approaches, financing ideas and implementation experience.
The programme combines plenary talks, technical presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, workshops, technology exhibitions and immersion visits to GSCOE laboratories and field-testing facilities.
Frontier technologies, nature-based and thermal treatment, sludge management, pathogen control, resource recovery and greywater reuse.
Citywide inclusive sanitation, life-cycle assessment, rural–urban convergence, faecal sludge management and circular-economy models.
Global standards, national missions, implementation frameworks, governance and finance for NSS adoption.
WBE, gender-responsive WASH, biosolids, AMR, emerging contaminants and water-resource management.
Emergency systems, coastal and flood resilience, low-carbon technologies, AI optimization and climate finance.
The conference is designed to connect emerging sanitation technology with policy, field implementation, public health, circularity and climate resilience.
