Twenty-four years ago, the UK witnessed its worst-ever Legionnaires’ disease outbreak, an event that reshaped our understanding of water safety. Today, global cases continue to rise, and one thing is certain, Legionella management isn’t going away anytime soon. The real question is, what will it look like next?

Our upcoming seminar dives straight into the story, how the past continues to shape the present, and how the future of Legionella control is being rewritten. Bringing expertise, insight and a touch of courtroom drama to the proceedings, David Travers KC, Gough Square Chambers and Kizzy Augustin, Partner, Mishcon de Reya, join Greg Davies, Director of Market Development, along with our Assurity Consulting team, to interrogate the lessons, legislation, case law and adopt an approach to this scenario as defined in today’s risk landscape.

But this event isn’t just about looking back, it’s about launching what comes next.

We’re excited to unveil our Assurity Plus 2.0 water management software; built to transform the way organisations manage Legionella. This platform gives you a safer, smarter and more resilient level of compliance designed for the demands of 21st century risk management.

So, join us on Wednesday 3rd June 08:30-12:30 for breakfast and to explore the legal, practical, and technological shifts reshaping how we stay ahead of Legionella and be among the first to experience the future of water safety.
