New Environment, New Directions

Water and money need to be better connected in the United States. While water is facing greater challenges than ever before in terms of infrastructure renewal, growing scarcity, and changing demographics, the money is not there to seize the opportunity. The stimulus package has been allocated, but public finances are struggling to keep afloat in its wake. It is time for change, and time for new directions.

We are bringing together water and money in Washington DC on 3rd and 4th November 2010, to discuss and evaluate these new directions, mapping out a more productive future for the American water industry.

You will be able to meet and exchange views with many of the country's leading water authorities - from all walks, including Federal policy-makers, state government and regulatory officials, industry executives, and academic leaders.

Topics will include:

• Financing water after the stimulus: public or private?
• New directions in policy and regulation
• Water as an emerging investment asset class
• Where are the high growth markets in the US water sector?
• Creative solutions to America's infrastructure gap
• Opportunities in water scarcity
• Consolidation and valuation trends in the new era
