1. See the future of water treatment and management
With presentations from leading water researchers from across Canada, this Conference will give a glimpse of the new techniques, technologies and tools that are being developed and will undoubtedly be implemented in the future.
We’ve got a fantastic line-up of speakers starting with our Opening Plenary featuring water expert Larry Moore and Ralph Pentland, co-author of the recent book Down the Drain: How We are Failing to Protect Our Water Resources. In his book, Ralph challenges Canada’s water regulation and management. This interactive plenary session will explore what we, as water utility managers, operators, researchers and regulators, are doing to meet the emerging threats to water quality, security and supply – creating interesting dialogue that will both challenge and celebrate water professionals.
The rest of the Conference will be just as dynamic with a mix of academic presentations and sessions customized to appeal to utility managers. View the full agenda online.
Meet and mingle with water professionals from all areas. Our unique delegate range – from academics to managers to regulators to private sector partners – provides amazing opportunities. You will come away with the experiences of real lessons learned, dozens of ideas, and innovative solutions that you and your team can use immediately.
The Hilton Lac Leamy is a fantastic venue, offering a resort setting in the heart of the National Capital Region.
