Dear friends and colleagues,
In October 2014, Budapest one of the most vibrant capital cities of central Europe, will also become the capital of the
watercooler industry.
As the fourth largest city of the European Union it has many special attractions including; the Budapest Opera, the Parliament
Building, Buda Castle Hill, Andrássy Avenue and much much more. If you need more inspiration then check out; World
Heritage Sites, Jewish Heritage, Budapest’s Architecture, Budapest’s Parks and Caves and Budapest’s History.
If you like many consider that the WE event in Berlin was a huge success then be assured that the WE Event Team is planning
to make Budapest ’14 another milestone on WE’s journey.
The choice of Budapest as this year’s event location reaffirms WE’s longstanding commitment to develop the bridges between
West and East Europe.
WE has prepared another great program for you.
The Conference keynote speaker is Nils Mueller who, through a multimedia presentation, will guide you through; “The Future
of Digital”. An event not to be missed!
As a participant you will hear of the latest developments on the Greater European watercooler scene with market expectations
from Zenith International.
It is important for us all to be involved and aware of the changes that are occurring in our industry and keep abreast of new
developments, so don’t forget to take part in the workshop sessions which for sure will impact on the way you will operate
your business after Budapest.
The Gala Dinner is ‘Party Time’ where we come together to dine, to wine and celebrate another successful year for our industry.
The Aqua Awards ceremony is one of the highlight moments of our Gala Dinner when we reward and recognise the efforts of
our fellow members. A truly Inspiring time for us all!
And, last but not least – the WE Fair – where WE will welcome new suppliers from different parts of the world bringing to us
new products and new ideas and proving yet again that innovation is the key for our continued growth and progress.
Come join us in Budapest and combine business with pleasure. Discover this beautiful city, meet new prospects and new

Don’t stay home, you have to be there.

PLANT & CITY TOUR (Historical Budapest)
TUESDAY 7 OCTOBER 2014 (10:00 - 17:30)
The Clearwater group operates HOD businesses in Hungary, Ukraine and Croatia. They also manufacture sparkling
watercoolers incorporating their patented carbonation system (www.pure-sparkling.com) as well as PowerDown (www.
thepowerdown.com). These products are used within their own HOD businesses but they also sell to HOD companies
worldwide.
ClearWater Hungary has been in operation since 1995 and distributes throughout the country. What makes ClearWater
unique in the HOD industry is that 75% of all their water coolers are for sparkling water, leading to increased water
consumption and reduced in churn.
In 2013, CW water created a new division called Clearwater Solutions which is dedicated to POU watercoolers and coffee
distribution.
Come and take a look at how Clearwater has redefined the HOD industry with their innovative products.
Visitors will be sightseeing the magnificent city of Budapest.
The tour will take-in some of the most famous historical monuments and the most beautiful
sights of the Hungarian capital city!
During the tour the impressive House of Parliament, Margaret Island via Margaret Bridge
and Castle District can be enjoyed and walking by the Matthias Church, Fishermen’s Bastion
and the Royal Palace.
After a breathtaking view of the city from the Citadel we will cross the Danube to the busy
Pest side, to Heroes’ Square, the Opera House and St. Stephen’s Basilica.
