Hosted by American Water Intelligence (AWI) & Global Water Intelligence (GWI)*, the Summit will gather water leaders and technology experts from both public and private sectors to brainstorm creative ideas to tackle the major water difficulties now facing America. It will be held on 9/10th November, 2011 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The agenda for AWI/GWI's conference, entitled 'Compelling needs, creative solutions', is responding to the continuing drought conditions across the USA, where in the south they have now become the worst in recorded history. And as the financial cut-backs in the US continue, the summit's agenda sharpens its focus.
"Since we started planning our American Water Summit for Atlanta," says Emma Welsh, GWI's Sales & Marketing Director, "the 'compelling needs' of the events title have assumed a nightmarish significance.
We have added two new sessions - 'Surviving Financial Meltdown' and 'Inland Desalination and Scarcity Solutions' - to cover these issues. Expert understanding is key, and we want our attendees to rediscover the sense of security and confidence that comes from a full knowledge of the facts. We want to help them formulate a strategy, and this is where the 'creative solutions' come in from the new technologies in our Water Investment Idol session and the new financing solutions in 'Breaking the Mold on Infrastructure Finance.'"
The Summit's Keynote sessions are:
