ACCADUEO 2026 in Bari: water fair and where to stay

ACCADUEO returns in 2026 with its twentieth edition at the Nuova Fiera del Levante in Bari, reaffirming its role as Italy's only international trade fair devoted exclusively to the civil and industrial water cycle. Exhibitors spanning equipment, treatment, digitalisation and services showcase solutions across the entire water chain, from abstraction and conveyance to wastewater treatment and reuse. The fair rotates between Bari and Bologna to link different territories and build bridges between Italian and international operators. The 2026 edition places sustainability at its core: wastewater and stormwater treatment, sludge management, efficiency in aqueducts and distribution networks, plus technologies for unconventional water resources. Alongside the exhibition floor, ACCADUEO hosts a high-level conference programme where institutions, industry associations, utilities and research centres discuss regulation, leakage reduction, water reuse and digitalisation through AI and IoT. It is the meeting point where the sector coordinates and anticipates Italy's water policies. Bari, an Adriatic port city and capital of Puglia, provides a Mediterranean backdrop with strong links to southern Europe and the Balkans. The organiser offers hotel agreements with promotional codes for attendees who need accommodation during the fair days.
