Thank You to Our 2025 Sponsors
“As usual, this year’s MTC had more great opportunities for learning and networking than I could possibly fit into an already busy schedule — the ideal dilemma that any conference could create for attendees. Between the presentations, the exhibit hall, and the professional community engagement, MTC held up to its own high standard for valuable content.”
“Time spent with operators, engineers, and suppliers is always a great learning experience. MTC is an opportunity to interact with some of the most knowledgeable water treatment experts, to collaborate, and to share. I look forward to this event every year.”
