Backflow Conference 2021

Conference

"Our 2021 conference will feature presentations and workshops from Taumata Arowai, MBIE, backflow professionals and trainers.

These will give the tools and insight we need to plan for the future and have backflow prevention as a key part of water protection going forward.

It’s going to be an exciting time in the water industry and, just like during the pandemic, supporting each other will be the key to success.

We’d love to see you there. " Jim McGibbon, Chair, Backflow Group
