Registration is now open for the June 15-16 event.  

The Next Generation Water Summit (NGWS) will take place June 15–16, 2023. The annual event will be hybrid in format, with a limited number of in-person attendees and capacity for unlimited virtual attendance. The 2023 theme is “Water Reuse and Conservation: The New Paradigm.”

Registration is now open, and early bird pricing has been set at $199 for in-person and $79 for virtual attendance. 

"Water is critical, especially in the west with the ongoing drought," said Christine Chavez, Water Conservation Manager for the City of Santa Fe. "We are proud to be the host sponsor of the 2023 NGWS and look forward to in-depth discussions that can help us preserve and reuse our most precious resource."

The NGWS will open on the evening of June 14 with the Mayor’s Reception. Over the next two days, concurrent session tracks will commence after each day’s opening keynote. The session tracks will focus on regional and national challenges, with topics ranging from water policy to innovative approaches for reuse.
