Press release submitted on behalf of IUVA.

IUVA, Chevy Chase, Maryland, shines a global spotlight on the transformative role of UV technologies in water and reuse. From advanced oxidation processes and PFAS mitigation to full-scale UVC-LED deployments and decentralized solutions for drinking water and wastewater reuse.

While water and reuse are key themes this year, the program also brings together leading-edge research and case studies in air and surface disinfection, healthcare-associated infection control, food safety, and agriculture, including the latest on Far-UVC applications and cross-sector sustainability.

With over 100 presentations across three days, the 2025 IUVA World Congress will be the most comprehensive UV event of the year.

Two important updates:

1. The full program launches next week.
From real-world implementation to breakthrough research, the 2025 IUVA World Congress will showcase the most promising developments shaping the future of UV.

2. Make Your Hotel Reservation by August 28.
Our special hotel rate at the Lisbon Marriott expires on August 28, so please make your hotel reservation as soon as possible at https://iuva.org/2025-WC-Hotel. Don’t forget that advance registration ends August 15.
