The logo for the World Plumbing Council Conference 2026 has been revealed.
For the first time, the World Plumbing Council (WPC) will convene for their conference at InstallerSHOW at NEC Birmingham, 23-25 June 2026.
This will be the 14th World Plumbing Council conference and the first to be held in England since 1990. Scotland hosted the conference in 2011. It will also mark the first time the conference has taken place alongside an existing event.
The title of the conference will be ‘Worldwide problems – global solutions’. The groundbreaking WPC gathering promises to be a unique and innovative event, bringing together leaders, experts, and visionaries from the plumbing and installation sectors like never before.
At InstallerSHOW, Kevin Wellman – CEO of the CIPHE – and Mike Costain – Managing Director of InstallerSHOW – revealed the logo for the World Plumbing Council Conference, and discussed the upcoming event.
“The overall theme is worldwide problems and global solutions,” Kevin explained.
“We will deliver some highly technical seminars and conferences, and look at achieving the world’s largest plumbing and heating exhibition and international conference that the UK’s ever hosted.
“I think it will really galvanise the industry. I’m particularly keen to showcase UK installers and the industry as a whole, because we have a great opportunity to work together to shout about all the good things we’re heavily involved in.”
“As an event becomes bigger and scales up, it should start to internationalise,” Mike added. “The UK should be leading the conversation, as it already is with a lot of technologies.
“We should be hosting something significant for water saving, water efficiency and for the industry as a whole, and that is what we will deliver with the World Plumbing Council Conference in 2026.”
