International Water ConferenceĀ® News
ESWPās 85th annual International Water ConferenceĀ Ā 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 āsold outā 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 ābig pictureā 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.
