Membrane Technology Conference
TBD
2027 to be announced
Membrane Technology Conference
Discover Innovative Membrane Advances for Tackling PFAS, Microplastics & Other Water Threats
Learn about new directions in water and wastewater treatment technologies, desalination, and membrane bioreactor applications.
Three reasons to attend this conference:
- Accelerate your learning curve. MTC is your best opportunity to stay on top of this evolving field, hear about the latest research, and gain useful insight and skills.
- Share experiences. Hear how utilities are using membranes to meet growing challenges and opportunities, from PFAS to potable reuse and much more.
- Discover solutions. In the Exhibit Hall, you can talk in-depth with membrane solution providers about the water and wastewater issues your utility faces.
That’s a Wrap!

Membrane Technology Conference Highlights
“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.”
