The historic city of Edinburgh, capital city of Scotland, looks forward to welcoming representatives of the worldwide plumbing industry for the 9th World Plumbing Conference which will take place in the city from 7-11 September 2011.

The event, being organised by World Plumbing Council member organisation SNIPEF, promises to be an event to be remembered and we hope to see large numbers from the UK and overseas gathering in our city. SNIPEF has been an active participant at previous World Plumbing Conferences with groups of members and their spouses participating in all of the triennial events since London in 1990.

Timed to take place shortly after the end of the Edinburgh International Festival (and Edinburgh Tattoo) the Conference will contain two full days of conference sessions with an interesting mix of top class speakers and social and networking opportunities including a Welcome to Edinburgh Dinner, an exclusive Reception in Edinburgh Castle (hosted by SNIPEF Edinburgh and District Branch in celebration of its 100th birthday) and a spectacular Gala Dinner.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and the other countries offer many touring opportunities for before or after the Conference.

World Plumbing Conferences are unique occasions and we extend a warm Scottish welcome to all involved in today's plumbing industry to join us in Edinburgh in September 2011.

Director & Secretary: SNIPEF
Chairman: World Plumbing Council 2008-2011
