Technical Sessions
Work for Water: For Communities. For the Environment. For our Future.
This year’s event theme is Work for Water, which emphasizes the need to recruit new professionals to the water industry and to work collaboratively to address current and future threats to our water environment and ensure the long-term sustainability of our water resources. With 41 technical sessions, a Student Poster Competition, a Tuesday Plenary Session, and two floors of exhibitors highlighting the industry’s latest products and services, this year’s program will address many elements of this theme.
The conference commences on Monday with seven morning and afternoon technical sessions on key industry issues. The Opening Session at 11:00 AM will convene attendees to hear from NEWEA and WEF leadership and our 2025 Keynote Speaker.
Tuesday offers another full day of exciting events. We celebrate and recognize operators by offering morning and afternoon Plant Operations technical sessions, as well as the lunchtime Operator’s Reception. A Plenary Session will be held from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, featuring a panel discussion on the future of water followed by pitches from innovators highlighting emerging solutions to water industry issues.
Even more to celebrate—our lunch-time awards ceremony on Wednesday recognizing outstanding efforts in our industry and the passing of the gavel to the 2025 NEWEA President, Deborah Mahoney of Brown and Caldwell.
We hope you take advantage of all the 2025 Annual Conference has to offer and use this occasion to connect with your water industry colleagues.
