The conference was based at Athlone on the Shannon Navigation. The theme was
“Restoring – Regenerating – Re-imagining”. Pre- and post-conference tours visited other key waterways sites throughout Ireland. The event was organised jointly by Waterways Ireland and the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland, and was attended by over 300 delegates, including 15 from the World Canal Cities Organisation and partners in China, who were able to promote next year’s conference which is at Yangzhou and Wuxi on the Grand Canal.
