The 2016 Water Summit, "Establishing a Water Resilient City," moves away from the traditional “breakout” conference approach and will roll out a new, dynamic program combining brief, provocative presentations followed by engaging conversations between Charles Fishman, award-winning journalist and a reporter on water innovation, and global leaders from all corners of the world of water.
Focus areas will include resilient infrastructure and environment, economics, health, policy and strategy. Take a look at the conference website to learn more.
The conference will take place in Milwaukee from June 14 to 15, 2016.
