Before stepping “on stage”, speakers met in one of the palace rooms. After an informational briefing, interesting discussions came up already “backstage” about water management and of course stewardship. Some of these moments were captured in the following pictures:

The audience included representatives from government, NGOs, civil society, academia, private sector and others. These diverse backgrounds sparkled good exchanges of experiences and ideas between sectors. Attendees from the private sector were as well multidisciplinary, ranging from chemical and paper industry to food and agriculture going through airports, energy, and consultancy and certification experts.
