FSM6 Virtual (2021)

The 6th International Faecal Sludge Management conference (FSM6) continued its mission of sharing innovation and best practices to improve how to expand services to the 4.5 billion people worldwide that lack access to safely managed sanitation.  FSM6 was originally planned to be hosted in Jakarta, Indonesia but due to the global COVID-19 pandemic was held virtually.  The virtual conference provided the opportunity for sector professionals, governments, policy-makers, utilities, development partners, investors, industries and service providers to coordinate, develop and share learning to provide affordable and workable solutions at scale.  LSC and our producing agency (3-LS) partnered with the FSMA planning team to reimagine and adapt the programming and content delivery to an innovative and engaging online format.  The execution team gathered in Dubai to facilitate daily programming across worldwide time zones.
