We’re excited to invite you to the 2026 ANCOLD Dam Operators Forum in Perth, from 4–6 August 2026, to be held at the Duxton Hotel Perth. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Western Australia’s capital and overlooking the Swan River, this year’s forum promises an engaging and welcoming environment to learn, connect, and be inspired.

The forum provides a valuable opportunity for dam operators from all sectors, whether public or private, small or large, to come together in a relaxed and friendly setting. It’s your chance to share experiences, learn from peers, and explore practical approaches to the challenges we all face in maintaining and operating critical infrastructure.

A key highlight of the program will be the technical site visits at Mundaring, Canning and Wungong Dams offering valuable, real-world insights into local operations and assets. Further details will be shared as the program develops.

Beyond the formal sessions, the forum offers plenty of opportunities to unwind, strengthen existing relationships, and build new connections with colleagues from across the industry. Delegates will come together for the Welcome Reception at Lucky Shag and the Conference Dinner at Meat & Wine Co Perth CBD, providing the perfect setting to continue conversations and enjoy Perth’s vibrant hospitality scene.

We extend our sincere thanks to the ANCOLD Executive, our sponsors, and exhibitors for their continued support in bringing this important event to life. If your organisation is considering involvement, we warmly welcome your participation and the opportunity to showcase your brand.

We look forward to welcoming you to Perth for three days of insightful discussions, valuable site experiences, and meaningful connections. It promises to be a memorable forum and we hope you will join us.
