At the end of June, business leaders, governmental entities, academics, entrepreneurs and others will come together in Milwaukee to discuss worldwide water challenges and the future of water innovation. The Water Council’s Water Leaders Summit is held annually for professionals from water technology organizations and water-intensive industries. The Water Leaders Summit also encourages attendance from utilities, government and university officials, media, investment groups, and students.
