The issues of water management and the renovation of distribution networks are at the heart of the current concerns of the sector, especially with regard to the application of the Territorial Reform. As part of the MAPTAM law, a transfer of skills GEMAPI (Management of aquatic environments and flood prevention) in 2018 on the one hand; and in the framework of the NOTRe law, a water and sanitation skills transfer in 2020 on the other hand. This important change in the organization and governance of water management requires industry players to prepare for this future. The new organization of the public service will have to take up the environmental challenge of preserving the water resource, by managing more modern, efficient and economical infrastructures. In the midst of a digital transition, technological innovations offer first solutions. Raising awareness, informing and preparing actors for this technological revolution is essential. Cycl'eau The Salon is an initiative for meeting and developing business between water stakeholders at the heart of watersheds. In Bordeaux, on March 21 and 22, 2018, in Vichy on June 6 and 7, 2018 and on October 3 and 4, 2018 in Strasbourg, the show will allow, for two days, the regrouping of the actors of the regions and the development of their visibility on their geographical area, in a deliberately user-friendly format. On a human scale, the living room is also connected. CYCL'EAU offers exhibitors and visitors an experience centered on connectivity. Its own organization innovates and proposes, thanks to the deployment of individualized digital devices, to facilitate the experience of the congress participants before, during and after their arrival.
