For over 30 years, the first and only international trade fair in Italy dedicated exclusively to the civil and industrial water sector.
For over 30 years, Accadueo has been the only international trade fair in Italy dedicated exclusively to the civil and industrial water sector supply chain: a key event for dialogue between institutions, associations, and businesses, fundamental for the systemic development of the industry.
NOVEMBER 26–27, 2026
Following the success of the 2025 edition, Accadueo returns to Bari, confirming its status as one of the main meeting points for companies and operators. The alternation of venues is designed to generate synergy between territories, with the aim of connecting the Italian water sector to the international scene.
OCTOBER 11–13, 2027
The twentieth edition of Accadueo will take place simultaneously with the 43rd International NO-DIG, creating an even broader and more international platform dedicated to water infrastructure innovation and NO DIG (trenchless technology) solutions applied to underground utility networks.
Innovation and sustainability of the water cycle will continue to define the exhibition area, where companies will present cutting-edge solutions and products across the entire water supply chain.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a high-level conference program dedicated to the most relevant topics for the sector:
Purification - Treatment of sewage wastewater and stormwater runoff - Analysis and combat against emerging pollutants
Desalination - Management of urban drainage and runoff - Water reuse for industrial, agricultural, and municipal purposes
Smart water management - Integration of AI, IoT, and Big Data for network monitoring - Smart metering
Control and reduction of water losses
Updates on national and international regulations
From October 11 to 13, 2027, BolognaFiere will host the 20th edition of Accadueo concurrently with the 43rd International NO-DIG. Both are international events dedicated, respectively, to the water cycle supply chain and trenchless solutions for underground utility networks.
The International NO-DIG is the annual traveling global event that will take place in Italy in 2027, thanks to the decision of the ISTT – International Society for Trenchless Technology to entrust its organization to the IATT – Italian Association for Trenchless Technology, the reference association in Italy for trenchless technologies.
This simultaneity will create a broader, more international platform for dialogue dedicated to innovation, water network management, and trenchless technologies. It will bring an international community to Bologna capable of connecting technological innovation in the water cycle with strategic issues of underground utility networks, strengthening dialogue between companies, operators, designers, institutions, and research centers, thereby expanding opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and growth for the entire supply chain.
The event will continue to alternate between Bari and Bologna, expanding its territorial reach and strengthening the dialogue between various actors in the water sector. The alternation of venues is designed to generate synergy between territories, with the goal of connecting the Italian water sector to the international landscape.
Bari will be a place for discussion and exchange on the main future challenges and opportunities related to water resource management.
