25th International Water Mist Conference in Prague – Book your Ticket(s) now!

The 25^th International Water Mist Conference (#IWMC2026) will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, on 7^th and 8^th October 2026. The conference webpage www.iwma.net/iwmc is now active, and the ticket shop is open. The organiser of the conference, the International Water Mist Association (IWMA), offers special prices until 15^th August.

Following the highly successful Manchester conference, the International Water Mist Association (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 utilisation of water mist systems. With this initiative, IWMA continues to invest in educating the fire protection industry on how to apply water mist technology more efficiently and confidently in practice. CPD certificates will be issued to workshop participants.

“Prague is more than a conference,” says Max Lakkonen, President of IWMA. “It is where the global water mist community comes together to share knowledge, challenge ideas, shape the future of fire protection – and enjoy doing it together.”

As always, the Ragnar Wighus Award will be presented. In 2026, it will honour the author of the best master’s thesis dedicated to smaller droplets. The deadline for submitting synopses has been extended to is 31^st May.

Please note: The ticket shop will close on 2^nd October at noon (CEST)!
