Bookings open for IWMA’s 25th International Water Mist Conference
16 April 2026
THE INTERNATIONAL Water Mist Association (IWMA) has opened the booking process for the 25th International Water Mist Conference (#IWMC2026), which takes place in Prague on 7-8 October. The dedicated conference webpage www.iwma.net/iwmc is now active and the ticket shop is open. Early bird prices are available until 15 August.

Following the highly successful event in Manchester last year, the IWMA is once again introducing a fresh element to the format. The regular 1.5-day Conference Programme will be complemented by a dedicated half-day training workshop focusing on the design and effective use of water mist systems.
On that note, the IWMA continues to invest in educating practitioners within the fire protection industry on how to apply water mist technology more efficiently and confidently in practice. Continuing Professional Development certificates will be issued to all workshop participants.
Knowledge sharing
“Our annual gathering is more than just a conference,” explained Max Lakkonen, president of the IWMA. “It’s where the global water mist community joins forces to share knowledge, challenge ideas and shape the future of fire protection.”
As always, the Ragnar Wighus Award will be presented. In 2026, this will honour the author of the best Master’s thesis dedicated to smaller droplets. The deadline for submitting synopses has been extended to 31 May.
The ticket shop will close on 2 October at noon.
