The Leaders Forum discussions are by invitation only, with limited access for a number of selected delegates who are interested in joining the forum.
The topics of the round table sessions will be introduced by table moderators. There will be 2 rounds of round table discussions, each taking 50 minutes. This will enable the invitees to attend two sessions within this ILF program. There will be nine round tables in total, where each table will discuss a pre-selected topic influencing this specific sector approach to water related issues and strategy. In the role as an industrial expert, the delegation can contribute to this upcoming important issue and to reach the new sustainable development goals. Output of each session:
- Definition of the next steps for the presented case
- Desired achievements before the next International Water Week in 2019
