The Programme Committee is in charge of the definition of the conference's agenda and composed of 86 international water experts coming from 27 countries, who are working together to define the programme of the conference. They are grouped in three colleges : Researchers - Operators - Decision Makers and Civil Society, in relation to the model being pursued by the MAWAC  and which the conference intends to promote. Indeed, the conference aims to encourage collaboration between these three main categories of actors as a model of efficiency and sustainable results for water management in Megacities adapating to climate change. The conference will bring this variety of actors together.
