Registration Is Open for the Eighth Emerging Water Technology Symposium

 

Early-bird registration is now open for the eighth Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS), taking place May 14–15 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The EWTS provides a unique opportunity to meet well-known experts from across the globe. Participants can discover ideas and approaches about emerging technologies coming to market; learn about innovative sustainable plumbing and mechanical concepts; view presentations; and engage in timely discussions on how the water utility, manufacturing, engineering, and trade industries have found solutions through emerging technologies for the water-efficiency, plumbing, and mechanical industries. The theme for this year’s conference is “The Nexus Between Sustainability and Safety: Avoiding Unintended Consequences” and will feature prominent experts on these topics.

The EWTS is co-convened by the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), and Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), in cooperation with the World Plumbing Council (WPC).

Sarah Porter, Director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University, and Will Sarni, Founder and CEO of Water Foundry, will deliver the keynote addresses.

The EWTS will include the following presentations:

• “Emerging Water Contaminants’ Impact on Premise Plumbing Systems” by Bob Bowcock, Integrated Resource Management
• “Final Barrier Solutions to the PFAs in Drinking Water” by Eric Yeggy, Water Quality Association
• “Saving Energy and Reducing Carbon with WaterSense-Labeled Homes” by Jonah Schein, WaterSense
• “Saving Water and Saving Energy in Growing Communities” by Gary Klein, Gary Klein and Associates, and Dan Cole, IAPMO
• “Building Water Commissioning: Tools for Establishing Safe, Efficient, and Sustainable Water Management Programs” by Dr. Molly Scanlon, University of Arizona
