Registration Open for EWTS 2020
The 2020 Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS), to be held May 12-13, 2020, at the Westin Riverwalk in San Antonio, is shaping up to be the most comprehensive and informative event since the symposium debuted in 2008. Online registration is available at https://www.aspe.org/2020-ewts-registration/.
C-convened by the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), and Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), and in cooperation with the World Plumbing Council (WPC), the EWTS will again provide attendees with vital information pertaining to today’s most pressing water-related issues
“The EWTS provides attendees with a unique opportunity to hear from manufacturers, engineers, academia, futurists, policy makers and water efficiency experts”, says Pete DeMarco, IAPMO’s Executive Vice President of Advocacy and Research. “The two-day symposium will address global problems pertaining to the safe delivery and use of water in buildings and the new technologies and strategies that are being developed to keep plumbing systems safe and efficient. Having again received a record number of outstanding abstracts, this year’s program will provide attendees with an amazing opportunity to hear from and interact with today’s water leaders.”
Building upon a highly successful formula refined during six previous symposiums (Chicago, 2008 and 2016; Ontario, Calif., 2010; Washington, D.C., 2012 and 2014; and Ontario, Calif., 2018), the event will gather plumbers, contractors, engineers, manufacturers, water efficiency experts, and academia to introduce new technologies for the plumbing industry and discuss how policy initiatives can drive the introduction of these technologies to market and advance the cause of water and energy efficiency.
Presentation topics will include risk management strategies and high-capacity ultrafiltration for Legionella and pathogen control; identifying key research needs for premise plumbing; enabling competitions to drive behavioral change; preventing temperature fluctuations in showers; wastewater treatment and whether it can be a consumer product; the applied water-energy nexus — using an integration framework; and many more.
Additional information on the program can be found online at www.ewts.org. Videos of presentations from previous symposiums are also available on the website. For further information, please contact Maria Bazan at (708) 995-3000 or maria.bazan@iapmo.org. |
