Navigating a Digital Utility Transformation–Embracing
a Smart Water Future
1:30–4:30 p.m.
Room: Mandalay Bay Ballroom L
Track: Innovation & Technology
Moderators: Ken Thompson and Marc Bracken
While many utilities are looking for ways to improve the pace
of technology adoption, they often have difficulty justifying
the expenditure. In many cases there is little understanding of
the long-term potential to transform the way utilities manage
treatment, distribution, and collection. Hear from SWAN,
the Smart Water Networks Forum, and utility leaders about
innovation and smart water journeys.
