It is with immense pride and excitement that I announce the Society of Korean Smart Water Grid will be hosting the 2024 Smart Water Grid International Conference (SWGIC) on September 11-12 at Songdo ConvensiA in Incheon. Since its establishment in November 2014, the Society has been at the forefront of pioneering advancements in the water industry, marking significant strides toward the future we envision.

This year, at the 12th SWGIC, we are focusing on tackling two critical global challenges that stand at the forefront of our collective environmental agenda: Climate Change and Carbon Neutrality. These themes are both urgent and essential, guiding our efforts in smart water management and fostering sustainable practices for the betterment of our planet.

This conference is dedicated to gathering experts from across the globe—scientists, engineers, practitioners, and researchers—to share knowledge, foster innovative ideas,
and showcase the latest advancements in combating climate change and progressing towards carbon neutrality through smart water grid technologies. Our carefully curated sessions focus on a wide range of critical topics such as Climate Change Adaptation Strategies, Water Management with Carbon Neutral Technologies, Sustainable Water Use through Information Technologies, and Innovative Applications in the Water Industry. Key themes include exploring the impact of Climate Change, striving for Carbon Neutrality, advancing Water and Sewage Management Technologies, promoting International Collaboration, building Resilience against Extreme Weather, and envisioning the Future of Smart Water Technologies.

In alignment with our focus, we will delve into comprehensive discussions on how smart water grid technologies can play a pivotal role in mitigating climate impacts, optimizing water resources management in a carbon-constrained world, and fostering sustainable practices across the water industry.

The 2024 SWGIC is not just a conference; it is a clarion call for collective action and innovation. It is an opportunity for us to forge a global community that is not only keen on sharing groundbreaking methodologies and solutions but also committed to integrating these advancements to achieve a sustainable and resilient future.

I warmly invite you to actively engage in the 2024 SWGIC by presenting your research, sharing your insights, and participating in what promises to be a seminal gathering of minds and ideas.

Thank you for your continuous support and enthusiasm. I look forward to welcoming you to Songdo in September 2024.

Warmest regards,
President, Woo Dalsik
the Society of Korean Smart Water Grid
