Technical Program

The IWC has always been a strong educational conference. The IWC strives to present timely, relevant, non-commercial scientific information to help further educate an already-educated audience.

Attendees come to share and learn about the latest technologies, processes, and applications in the industrial water treatment industry through the IWC workshops, technical papers, and networking with peers in water treatment.

All papers presented at the IWC are carefully peer-reviewed and technically evaluated for quality and accuracy, and to ensure no commercial aspect is evident. Each paper is followed by a Prepared Discussion, offering a different perspective on the paper topic, questions, or considerations. This then simulates a lively discussion when all audience members and presenters can fully interact—ask questions, seek clarification, and raise alternative viewpoints. Experience an organized technical discussion like no other at the IWC!
