The 17th Edition of the Dredging & Land Reclamation World Summit Returns in 2026!

Dredging is essential to the upkeep in ports and harbours inland waterways, from maintaining navigational inland waterways through removal of sediments, to development of port facilities, flood mitigation efforts and for maintenance of basins and water intakes. Land reclamation is also one of the main areas of interest for the dredging industry, transporting large amount of sea sand to create new land for infrastructure purposes. It is always challenging to manage and supervise dredging and reclamation activities especially with increased project and cost pressures while challenged by constantly evolving new and innovative technologies/equipment in the industry. This challenge escalates with the increased scrutiny around environment and sustainability concerns around dredging & reclamation projects.

Global Dredging, Reclamation, Ports, Maritime, Infrastructure, Rail, Airports & Urban Development Industry Professionals Gather at the World’s Leading Dredging & Reclamation Platform to Discuss Industry Best Practices & Lessons Learned!

The world’s exclusive 17^th Dredging & Land Reclamation World Summit 2026 is here again as dredging professionals and reclamation practitioners share case studies and strategies to resolve critical operational and sustainability issues. This summit is dedicated to bringing relatable and insightful sharing from veterans in the field, providing cost-effective and proven strategies to resolve risk and disrupted operations to ensure on-schedule delivery.

Having a comprehensive understanding of the coastal environment plays a crucial role in dredging and reclamation works, having potential positive or negative impact on natural resources, economic resources, and socio-cultural resources. If not handled appropriately, the ripple effect will cause further threat and damaged beyond its intended work area. Management of environmental impacts of dredging and reclamation is a challenging activity and requires extensive and precise knowledge and planning. The 17^th Dredging & Land Reclamation World Summit will provide you with the necessary knowledge and know-hows on minimizing risk and threats through dredge project planning and effective environmental management during execution.

Limited seats available so sign up NOW for a unique opportunity to indulge in the most pressing issues while staying relevant in the highly demand dredging & reclamation industry!
