International Water Conference® News

ESWP’s 85th annual International Water Conference  was a huge success!

For our first visit to Las Vegas, Nevada, we had nearly 750 registrants at the 2024 IWC! Early reviews indicate a very well received and high-quality technical program with more than 70 presentations and peer review discussions. In addition, we offered 15 continuing education workshops with topics such as Reverse Osmosis, PFAS, Concentrate Management, and Industrial Water Reuse. In addition, the learning opportunities continued into a “sold out” Exhibit Hall with more than 90 displays for attendees to visit, network, and exchange ideas. We also featured our H2O Theater, where attendees could benefit from presentations in an informal setting. 2024 marked our first conference at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas and we received many, many, positive comments about the venue, conference, layout, and overall experience! We are very grateful for all of those who support the IWC , most especially the members of our Executive Committee who detail the conference, and the Advisory Council who help shape the “big picture” thinking each year. In addition, we are very grateful for the Session Managers, speakers, discussers for presenting the conference program. They are truly the heartbeat of the conference! Also special, thanks to all of the staff members at Planet Hollywood for looking after all of our needs. We hope to see everyone at the 2025 IWC in Orlando, Florida.

IBC SETS NEW RECORD!

The 2024 International Bridge Conference was held over June 3-6, in San Antonio, TX. Nearly 800 registrants enjoyed more than 80 technical presentation and 20 extended workshops over the two-and-a-half day conference.  Additionally, there was robust activity in the Exhibit Hall, where attendees could visit and learn from 90 vendors.  The annual Awards Dinner recognized six different bridges, including Pittsburgh’s very own Roberto Clemente (6th Street) Bridge – congratulations! The ESWP staff reports that many positive comments from attendees were received about the program, venue, and overall experience! Oh yeah, about that record setting IBC…the City of San Antonio recorded a record high heat index of 117 degrees on Day 2 of the IBC.
