Overview

Top Water Utility Leaders Gather to Share Experiences, Strategies & Insight

Each year, water utility executives and managers keep returning to the Utility Management Conference (UMC). This gathering offers forward-thinking leadership, creative strategic planning, efficient processes, and holistic approaches to ongoing improvement efforts. 

Three reasons why utility leaders should attend this prestigious event: 

  • Gain insight from leadership peers. This conference attracts top executives and managers across all water utility departments. Get the view from the top of what is really working.  
  • Prepare for the future. Learn how utilities can adapt to climate change, fix aging infrastructure, achieve digital transformation, leverage funding options, and address other evolving considerations.
  • Develop the next generation of utility leaders. UMC is co-located with the Young Professionals Summit and features some joint events. Do not miss this opportunity to inspire and guide future utility leaders.
