Water Leaders Summit is an annual event that brings the water industry together to explore water challenges and the future of water innovation. Intimate and unscripted, the Water Leaders Summit creates a unique and engaging annual forum for connecting an international network of water leaders to exchange ideas, advance water-related goals, connect with emerging solutions and shape the future of water technology—all from the world’s freshwater hub.
The Water Leaders Summit program is inspired by you, people interested in hearing from innovative thinkers shaping the water technology industry. This summer, we’ll be hosting the Summit virtually, which means no travel for you, just easy access to moderated discussions with industry insiders and opportunities to connect with peers.
