Conferences
Saturday - Thursday September 20-25, 2025
World Canals Conference Buffalo, NY -
wcc2025buffalo.com
Buffalo and the Erie Canal Bicentennial create an ideal setting and
moment for the World Canals Conference 2025. Built around the
theme of Sustaining our Multidimensional Waterways, WCC 2025
will bring together the leading minds in diverse fields to
discuss, debate, discover, and inspire. Attendees will partake
in expertly guided field sessions, gain access to exclusive
tours in the days leading up to or following the conference, and
witness history repeating itself with the send-off ceremony for
the replica canal boat Seneca Chief. This traditionally built,
full-size replica of the same boat that opened the Erie Canal
two hundred years ago departs Buffalo for New York City,
replicating the 1825 journey that became known as the Wedding of
the Waters.
