Urban Water Institute Conference – February 19-21, 2020
A message from the Greg Quist, Chairman of MCWRA Associate member: Urban Water Institute
Dear Colleagues and Fellow Board Members,
As Chairman and a fellow member of the Urban Water Institute board, I am excited to share this reminder and invitation for our upcoming conference in Palm Springs, which takes place February 19-21, 2020. Please click here for the Agenda.
Thank you for your continued support, participation, and the sharing of your talents with the Urban Water Institute. Our success in bringing leading edge, 360° water policy and economic issues to our conferences can be traced to the support and energy of our board members, as well as the financial support that stems from the membership, attendees and sponsors.
So our theme for the Spring Conference is: “2020 Foresight – The Past Is Prelude”.
The UWI Planning Committee has once again done a phenomenal job of pulling together experts and luminaries to discuss a number of relevant and exciting topics, including: Just How Ugly Can Cyber Threats Be; I’ve Seen Fire and I’ve Seen Rain about the Paradise Fire; and Wild Wild West Coast and Central Coast Ground Water Basin- A History!
Our “Hindsight is 2020” panel are all famous luminaries – Prof. Steve Erie, Michael George, and Kevin Hunt – talking about historic water agreements like the IID transfer and the QSA, digging into what was good and what was not so good with these deals and other contentious water history, all discussed from their unique and insightful perspectives.
In addition, we will have a fun panel considering how we deal with technological change, with Lisa Ohlund, Bob Siemak and Cristina Ahmadpour as judges on the Shark Tank Panel, Who’s Swimming with the Sharks?
I invite each of you to take time to attend and participate, and suggest you also bring one or two colleagues.
One of the most appealing and valuable aspects of the UWI is the opportunities to meet and talk with panelists and conference participants during, before and after the presentations. There’s a wealth of experience and insight to be shared with our conference participants. This is a rich and meaningful couple of days.
For those who have already arranged for sponsorship and invited members of your organization, thank you!
There are only a few more sponsorship opportunities left available at various financial levels. Please click here for sponsorship and exhibitor information.
I am very excited about another great conference, and very much look forward to seeing you in Palm Springs!
Sincerely yours,
Greg Quist, Chairman
Urban Water Institute
