From around the world: Over 500 participants and 50 exhibitors representing over 170 companies, and 40 countries, across the entire supply chain. Over 120 peer-reviewed technical presentations. Broad scope, diverse perspectives.
WODCON is the World Dredging Congress and Exhibition. First organised in 1967 in New York, USA, and held throughout the world since, this series of congresses is the most important event for dredging professionals across the world.
It is the only completely global event dedicated to dredging, reclamation, maritime construction and dredged sediment management. WODCON is a valued and unique platform for the global exchange of knowledge, building brand awareness, exploring and creating new partnerships and collaborations, and nurturing existing connections.
WODCONs are held once every three years by the World Organisation of Dredging Associations (WODA).
WODA rotates the responsibility for organising WODCONs between its three member associations, WEDA, CEDA, and EADA and the organising member holds the congress in its region.
CEDA is delighted to host and organise the next event in this prestigious series of world congresses for the world-wide dredging community, with the key support from its Danish members. See here where previous WODCON meetings have been held.
WODCONs are all about the high-quality technical content, premium networking and doing great business.
WODCONs’ attendees are actively looking for new information and are open to hearing about new ideas, advancing technologies and new projects.
