Annual Conference 2025
“Constructed Wetlands for a United Future”
21st and 22nd October 2025
Coventry Technology Park, Coventry, UK
CALL FOR SPEAKERS – DEADLINE 22nd August
We’re pleased to announce that this year’s conference will take place at Coventry Technology Park, Coventry, following the success of last year’s gathering at Knights Hill Hotel, Norfolk.
A key feature of this year’s event will be site visits to two standout projects: the Hinckley Integrated Constructed Wetland and Lake View Park.
The Hinckley ICW, developed by Severn Trent as part of their green recovery and water quality improvement programme, is designed to reduce stormwater overflows while enhancing biodiversity through nature-based treatment processes.
At Lake View Park, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is leading a major restoration of the River Sherbourne, using ‘stage zero’ techniques to reconnect the river with its floodplain. The project has created new wetlands, scrapes, and ponds, delivering benefits for biodiversity, flood resilience, and public amenity.
We are now inviting contributions from the wetland community, including researchers, practitioners, and project teams, to share the latest insights and experiences. We welcome talks on the following themes:
Overcoming challenges and enabling success
Turning policy into practice
Achieving multiple benefits with constructed wetlands
New approaches in wetland design and implementation
Wetlands for nutrient control in both rural and urban settings
Farm-based wetlands and catchment-scale solutions
Resource recovery and circular economy opportunities
We’re also open to other topics that help advance the understanding or practical use of constructed wetlands.
We welcome contributions that are supported by data (i.e., no commercial pitches please!) to enable inspiring discussions in a friendly environment. If you have new research or case studies that you would like to share, please send your submission to events@constructedwetland.co.uk with ABSTRACT in the subject title.
Please include the following information:
Speaker(s) name, job title and organisation.
Title of your contribution
A brief summary of the scope of your presentation and key learning points (150 words).
If you prefer a poster or oral presentation
DEADLINE 22nd August
