In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our 2021 Annual Water Conference will once again be a virtual experience for our customers and partners.

This year’s conference is designed for industrial, urban, and agricultural customers. The main purpose is to provide information regarding the state of water, availability, regulation, polices, technology, and potential opportunities.

We have put together a comprehensive series of breakout sessions to help farmers, water distribution operators, managers, engineers, and energy professionals maximize their pump and water systems.
