This two-day event will provide participants with an opportunity to view presentations and engage in timely discussions on how the water utility, manufacturing, engineering, and trade industries have found solutions through emerging technologies in the water efficiency, plumbing and mechanical industries.

This event is a follow-up to the overwhelmingly successful inaugural Emerging Technology Symposium that was held in Chicago in August 2008 and is designed to provide a portal for IAPMO’s partners to display and demonstrate their innovative solutions to water and efficiency related needs and regulatory developments.

The first International Emerging Technology Symposium, co-convened with the World Plumbing Council, August 2008 in Chicago, surpassed expectations both in attendance and response, prompting IAPMO to enthusiastically schedule this follow up.

Presentations and panels will discuss emerging trends, practices and products.

IAPMO has expert presentations in the following fields:

• Water Quality, Sanitation and Health
• Water and Energy Efficiency
• Water Reuse
• Water and Embedded Energy
• Solar, Geothermal and Other Renewable Energies
• New Technologies in Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) Discharge Mitigation

"This symposium represents an exciting opportunity to highlight how our industry creates and adapts to emerging technologies through the use of a vital emerging technology," said IAPMO Executive Director GP Russ Chaney. "The event promises to be tremendously informative, as we trust a great many unique organizations will seize the opportunity by providing their most highly-qualified experts as presenters and panelists."
