Organizers of the WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Exposition, the world’s largest conference dedicated to urban water efficiency, have slated their third event for Oct. 6-8, 2010, at the South Point Hotel and Conference Center in Las Vegas.
Event organizers hope to build upon the success of the first two WSI conferences, created to broaden knowledge of innovations in water conservation, including products, programs and outreach.
In October 2009, the second WSI Conference and Expo drew nearly 1,200 participants from 43 states and 13 nations. It included more than 130 professional sessions and a show hall with 100 exhibitors. Keynote speakers were Dan Bena, Director of Sustainability, Health, Safety, and Environment for PepsiCo; and Dr. Jim Gill, inaugural chairman of Water Australia.
The show is scheduled to remain in Las Vegas at least through 2012. “WSI provides a platform for professionals from a broad spectrum of disciplines to come together to share their knowledge,” said program chairman Doug Bennett. “It is a great informational resource for communities facing water-supply challenges.”
The WSI Conference and Expo is presented by the Southern Nevada Water Authority in partnership with the U.S. EPA’s WaterSense Program, the American Water Works Association, and other forward-thinking organizations. For more information, visit www.WaterSmartInnovations.com.
